How hard is it to look at the cross
Because you are starting to tell the pilot how to fly. There are ramifications for what you are doing (maybe not in your 1500fpm scenario) which I don't think we can be expected to keep abreast of. eg. how much speed will drop off for a given rate increase, what mode change is required to control the climb rate and what effect will that have, how economical is that solution etc. etc.? We are supposed to service our customers as well as possible these days, and I'm not sure we are if we are taking control of how the a/c fly to such an extent. Something to think about (please, nobody come back with "it's not economical if they hit" etc.). How about:
More pilot liaison required.
Famil flights reinstated.
"expedite" formally defined (outside the UK).


And at the end of the day, it's about technique. It will vary.

BTW, I didn't think this was a slanging match- just a discussion? What gave you that idea?

As if I'd cry wolf, ANSA
