I didn't see the replies, I'll just chuck my hat back into the ring..
Interesting this thread has been dredged and both people seem to be slating me for some reason or another. I had no intention of playing into O Leary's pocket, infact I spent most of today defending ATC from my Captain who seemed to think "The bad shift" were out to get him by refusing his request for FL330 when we were filed at 220.
As for exit planning, from what I remember (this happened a wee while ago) ABZ has one exit - the end. As I alluded to in previous posts, our airfield brief specifically states a minimum of 2nd detent reverse, autobrake 2 and flap 40 due to runway length. Using anything else is in contravention of our operations manual.
At STN, we have two options. High Speed Exit 1 or 2. Neither make a significant impact on runway occupancy as we plan our braking accordingly. Without wanting a very useful thread to be drawn off course, i'd be interested to known what you fly Dumbledor, and who exactly causes you problems, it's certainly not us.
