And this is the problem...You just cannot do this in the States.You fly the speed they tell you.You are a pilot and they expect you to act like one.To non-comply with an ATC command because of SOP is a disgrace!Absolute disgrace.
Well, you're between a rock and a hard place nowadays. Many U.S. carriers have raised the stabilized altitude to 1000 feet from 500 and they are cracking down on non-compliance.

I'll try to give the 180 to the marker with a tailwind at JFK and late configuration for noise to the Europeans but if it doesn't work out, I'm going to burn some carbon credits and go around. Big Brother is definitely watching the QAR tape these days.
