If, however, you crews are still being co-ersed to achieve unrealistic demands then you gents and ladies really need to communicate this to the ATC authorities rather than sit on it.
The problem is also our goal posts shifting, maybe quicker than ATC's?

For instance "pressure" to now use Autobrake more (so it'll stop where it wants to), previously altering Flap Setting late on was "encouraged" when appropriate, now "forbidden" [not achieved final flap by 1000R = compulsory GA].

We cannot start our before TO checks until ATC (LHR only) explicity transmit our TO line up / intersection point to us (we cannot anticipate it), and must give us X mins notice to change it etc. etc.
