Accepted wisdom at work seems to be that its political, RAPAC and all that.
From where I sit, it's a POP to hit a feeder fix time on the dot provided we're given enough warning.
Just curious, but does the amount of warning affect the accuracy as well as how much time you can gain/lose? For example, if instructed to lose say one minute while already on descent (I know we shouldn't) is that harder to get spot on than say 2 minutes but while still in the cruise?
