Any F100 drivers (Skywest/Alliance/Network) out there care to explain how you go about losing time enroute into Perth?
From what I can see, the F100 flies a very slow cruise (220KIAS or less) then into 250kts or more on descent, I.e. increasing speed from ToPD and a subsequently steeper descent profile.
On the 737, if possible we try and spread the delay across the cruise and descent (220/230 kts for both if down low enough and copping a really big delay). if following an F100 into Julim, we tend to catch you guys around about our planned descent point, then cop a vector off track in order to get a descent clearance through your level until you start going down. No drama really, just curious.
Also, do you ATC guys notice it too and are there plans for more standardisation across different types - aircraft performance permitting.
