High Speed
Halas,
The 345 did this 3 man for a summer a few years back and i'm pretty sure there was never high speed at the planning stage. The real problem was departing past the 8,11, 14 minutes or whatever was the cutoff where discretion would be required. This is where, in my opinion, you have 3 choices - 1. See how it's going at dep -30 and decide if ~4 tons is required for .85-.87, 2. Walk off and go home (i know a guy who did this and heard nothing from the company) or, 3. Use discretion and take ALL the reponsibility into your own hands.
The way to fight this one is make a statement (ie #1 or #2 above), following the laws to a tee. Read and re-read your FTLs so you know it as well as them and be willing to back up any action with a strong book knowledge. In this disgusting climate, they might come after you, at least for a chat about it. Smile, nod and have an answer for every BS comment or question they have.
