Nautilus & ATC
A320 - throw in my three dollars twenty , we tend to drop the descent speed first M.70/220 then go for the reduction in the cruise to fine tune it ... everyone has a way to skin the cat but that's what I have seen the most.
Side thought - weekends we taxi past all the work areas - no one around. Are the penalty rates that high that the boys only work mon-fri ... when all this fuss is happening.....
