Couldn't agree more Keg & well said Cloudcutter.
I have seen quite a lot of DJ and QF 737s doing the minibacktrack thing - do they not know that there is a line-up allowance (and quite a generous one) provided for in the performance charts?
I had come to the conclusion that it is just part of the general "shorthaul culture", probably for reasons that have been lost in antiquity.
However, I doubt if we'll see any difference as a result of posting here!
