When you ask for say 220 knots do you want it asap (as in manually intervene V/S speed brake etc) or just slow as the FMC would do it?

Just a couple of things I'm often wondering..
Wondering the same thing. In the Q400 on a 3 degree descent at around 260-270kias, if we get told to slow down to say 220-230, it's going to take a loooong time unless we back the descent off.

They'll slow down or go down but not both!
