Have never been able to understand WHY, when the controller asks for a certain speed (within reason) pilots are not able to "just do as they are told". Hey guys, it ain't all that difficult.
Cooperate and graduate.
Stop making excuses that..."...well at flaps 10 our scheduled speed is..., or...."well this is not in keeping with our SOP's..."
Wake up! There are OTHER flights inbound other than yours, do as you are TOLD. IF you cannot, don't bother to call yourself professional.
