Glad to see that things are the same the world over. When we were sendin' and blendin' them -- over here in the colonies -- and some guy in the middle of the pack wanted to do 250 kts we just let him fly at 250. Away from the aiport.
I realize that all controllers are psychotic but can you really blame us ? One day you want to go fast to make your connections. One day you want to go slow to save fuel. One day you want to be high to save gas. The next day you want to be low because of the turbulence, etc., etc., etc.
Somebody had it right. Just shoot the guy that writes the SOPs so we only have to guess what the Captain wants to do...on this flight.
And....whoever else said...
It's the runways, Stupid.
Time is money. We're here to serve. Etc., etc., etc.
