Speed, speed

It's a lot more civilized when everyone does 290Kt in the descent. I bumbled into PFO the other week behind an Airbus that I'm sure was taking part in a slow flying competition - I think it won too! I'm not slagging off the Airbus (I fly one too) but some of the descent speeds it generates are rediculous. Selected speed - way to go, unless ATC tell otherwise of course.
