OK, why do aircraft from the same company:

fly different speeds in the circuit,
fly different speeds on departure,
taxi at different speeds,
call visual when the aircraft in front hasn't,
call for pushback at the same time as their company, but don't push back at the same time,
line up at different speeds,
commence take off roll differently,
change level at different rates?

My last flight with xxxtas, my wife and I arrived at the airport ETD-45mins. We rushed to get there. We waited for an hour and a half due to maintenance issues. We were told nothing! Why were we told to rush and then told to wait? Why didn't the airline ring us and give us a "CTMS" for their problems?

I suppose we're lucky that we didn't get stranded, hey!

18nm final, or told to slow down then speed up...half your luck!

Life is life...get over yourselves.
