Shut up and deal with it on the ground.
Amen to that.
I don't know about looking for a fight.... but I'll bet the approach brief included "They are gonna to ask us to do final speeds that we simply can't do... How are we gonna deal with that?"
- ATC should know better than to peg a heavy at 180kts so late on and they have been told enough times about the 744 SAC
- The crew did not communicate the issue at all well.
- Sending them round would have pissed any crew off
- We can all learn to communicate better
