According to Flidras, every single one of us usually breaks a gate or two somewhere on the flight, purely just due to atc or strict guidlines within the system that are not part of our sop's.
Flidras guys will only call the capt if they believe a multiple of gates have been broken and could have been avoided.
the company only get to see the who's who if the flidras guys believe that the capt did not have a reasonnable enough excuse for his actions or the actions themselves where so bad that it could'nt be avoided.
personnally i don't see the problem provided it is used accordingly.
as for econ sppeds in the descent it is not just easy that fly approx 250kts, i can think of 3 others immediately, we use a cost index of 10, it will help in the future to keep us around. don't confuse ground speed mini on the approach with econ descent.
be happy, it is just an aeroplane, simple really.
