"- VS as has been mentioned is a controlled way of approaching a level to avoid a TCAS TA or RA. Something some Ryanair pilots could do with learning. I've only ever had them from them. I'm sure they are the exception not the rule. "
If you looking for a bite you will get a few with that daft comment! Its an SOP in FR to select V/S 2000FPM with 2000ft to go and then 1000FPM with 1000ft to go to target altitude/FL - I have been polling these skies awhile and do not hear FR causing RAs.
So consider this "a bite" and get your head down and go back to your scarebus
