ATC requested speeds are nothing to do with avoiding dangerous windshear. Avoiding windshear difficulties is not type or company specific airmanship. Narrow minded and outdated company policies are items requiring official adjustment rather than blind obedience. Anyone who has made thousands of Prunne posts can surely put an approach speed proposal to his company rather than threatening F/O. Is this sufficiently directed?
Great post Olendirk. This subject obviously needs to be out there, but this is my last word.
