You make some valid points westy, particularly every man and their friggin' dog sceduling to leave at 530 ish and return at 930 ish, and its not your fault Australia's archaic system ( or is that over cautious ) only allows 3 A/C inside 30 miles, if that happened in Honkers for instance, they would have 90 holding on every day.
And yes, it is easier just to blame ATC
Oh and by the way if you are given a speed slower than you can do, tell us, we can’t hear the stick shaker, you are the one flying!
The 717 likes to be operated at or around 330IAS to 10 miles
I'm sure Bloggs can back me on that one
