Hey de facto,
At age 63,,,believe me youll still be at the gate while ill be lining up for takeoff.
I didn't realise STD was a race.
...ill deal with the delay to have speeds matching the thrust setting used.
I cover my a@@@ then i think about traffic behind..
As long as you make space for those of us who are ready to pass - then fill your boots.
@ nitpicker330,
If I choose to re work the T/O speeds instead of blasting off into the sky then so be it. If you are behind then WAIT.
How about you plan for both Flex & TOGA at the gate and note down the figures - so we don't have to WAIT simply because you're not ready?
