So what about 'budget flights' in CAS? One of them seems to
have made it an SOP to ignore ATC imposed speed control.
At STN it appears 160 to 4 is being disregarded by that one
operator thereby reducing separation and losing what would have been gaps for departures!! Near MAY the other day we
were told to fly at 280 ...the cheap chap behind 270... but we
could watch him closing the gap on TCAS!! London then told us to 'fly as fast as possible!!!
