Thank you 737man, but as I previously said, I am talking about crews flying 250kts on airways when I would
expect them to be flying faster- nothing to do with speed limits, approach charts or anything below 10,000ft.
It's just that I got hammered recently and in the midst of 10 aircraft that all arrived on frquency in a nice big bunch was a 747 dawdling along at 250kts -unbeknown to me- and it took a 45 degree turn to prevent separation being lost with the following BAe 146 which was obscured on the radar by other traffic above.
I'm not one for imposing unecessary speed restrictions as I know that the next controller may have a different plan, so I left the 747 to do it's own thing thinking it would be flying at 300kts plus, as 747s usually do. Had I known that said 747 was actually flying slower than usual, I wouldn't have come close to filling in paperwork.
I know you guys have lots to do during descent, but please try and inform us if you're doing anything nonstandard.
BRING BACK FAM FLIGHTS!!!!
