....until I flew with the only other captain who has not been on the aircraft long experienced he says he is flying for over 20 years commercially he is a local guy, but what can I say...er...he is terrified of any turbulence of any description. It was bright blue skies, no clouds just alittle bit of light chop as I was decending at 310kts through FL300 (VMO at 330) he suddenly shreeked PLEASE PLEASE SLOW DOWN we have a ot of turbulence!!!
Personally, having flown in the middle east for over thirty years (and still do on a seasonal basis in a large widebody type)...this is quite characteristic of older local commanders, so some of my First Officers tell me, anyway.
My advice...slow down a bit, and try not to be ace-of-the-base in the fast(er) airspeed department.
Besides...you aren't paying for the fuel, so...provide the folks in back with the smoothest ride possible.
They will thank you for it, in the long run.
