Your story is quite interesting.
Recall years ago UL hired an ex-Eastern Air Lines Captain who insisted that the proper way to descend (L10) at destination was to begin at 65 miles (idle thrust, full speed brake)...never mind pressurisation, ATC, pax comfort. This resulted in being high and hot nearly every time...and scared the cr@p out of the other crew members. UL sent him back to the sim and mentioned "please" do descents our (normal) way...made no difference, so UL had to say goodbye.

Wonder WHERE guys get these ideas?
