But horror stories are emerging of people flying around with gear down up to 10000, circuits at 300 feet, getting lost in DXB.
Please don't tell me this is true. I speak for what I see and do in the Embraer. Everyone is trying to be super efficient, ie; flightplan fuel as much as possible, efficient this that and the other, single pack on the ground to reduce APU fuel burn, thrust idle descents, visual approaches to cut fuel and time, asking for shortcuts and optimum levels.
Anyway, if it doesn't help annyone's case, it fun for sure. And I can use a bit of fun in these dark times...
