misd-agin, we normally do not get many "cross XYZ at 6,000'.." instructions around here where I fly, most of them are the "descent and mantain" type and I was always a bit unconfortable with this delay in descending, as the FMC TOD was normaly well beyond the 1Nm mark.
stbyrud, indeed that is the first time I use VNAV, but fortunately I still think the best VNAV is in my brain and I like to plan my descents ahead, but one has to pay attention on what the magic box is planning, better safe than sorry...
BOAC, "You are correct, he/she is wrong"
I thought so, now I have just have to think on a polite way to say that to the guy...
Thanks for the inputs!
Cheers
