We can do that but the fuel burn goes through the roof and our standard descent speed is 230kts now. We're very flexible if it stops problems but personally I don't mind being put to the side if I'm in the way rather than be made to go flat out and be 10-15 minutes early.

What company is that using 230kts?
As the pilot says he is a turboprop driver, I would guess it is FlyBe.
