Quite frankly it can suck. Outside of getting dumped like Nor CAL always leads you, last time we were told not to OVERTAKE an EMB-120. I was in a fully loaded 737-800 w/150 app speed. Even with the Brasilia going balls to the wall it was ugly, so we had to s-turn right at 900 feet. Real comforting on a two-three mile final! The controllers have got to get more realistic about sticking the props on parallels with the bigger jets. Pain in the @ss to get into, but great layover.
