HUH, 50 minutes?? Just checked my logbook and have done CH to WL in 1 hour 12 minutes in a PA28R (must have had a small tailwind). Why is the Airbus so slow? The old B732 used to climb to FL220, S&L for 5 minutes then descend. I don't think it took them much more than 30 minutes.
Can anyone tell me what the flight profile is now since the French crap and the quality Boeing products climb a lot better than the old 737 Classic?
And just so this stays on topic (a bit), nice tolerant and forgiving comments from the Pastor that was on the flight. Maybe he need a new line of work.
