How about the long haul guys who don't want to land before a certain time? I'm not talking about morning noise rules I'm talking the middle of the day. On several occasions I've had a British-registered heavy jet going round and round at LAM when he could have had a straight in approach. Typically a few days ago around 1430ish. Sometime ago we rang Ops to ask what was happening with one of these flights and they didn't know...!
So why do it guys? Don't you feel guilty about wasting all that fuel? What do you tell the pax - hands on your hearts here!?
Lastly, it's like driving at 50mph on the outside lane cos at times there's a great queue behind...

BAW are on pain of death if they land and are on stand earlier than scheduled ETA -20 minutes due shortage of stands.
Captain Airclues will explain all if you e-mail him !!

Pilots like Packsonflite who propose to get this site back to what they consider it should be,i.e. professional PILOTS only (see rumours and news).
I see that PPRuNe Radar admonished Proceed As Cleared for having a pop (however unjustified) at Grandad Flyer. Haven't noticed any such admonishment for Packsonflite for suggesting that we, non flyers and other interested people, aren't welcome on rumour and news any more because we don't belong to that exclusive club of paid jet jockeys.
Sorry if I've upset anybody, but surely if we are supposed to welcome pilots et al into this forum, (notice I didn't say "our") then the reverse should apply for the other open forums, and all such calls for exclusivity should be dealt with in a similar way.
I think the input from others is valuable, and have certainly seen, on this and other forums, several answers to questions that have cleared up confusion and/or misunderstanding. This site is, apart from being fun, a valuable source of information for all, and it is really annoying when some jumped up ------ (insert own choice of expletive) thinks that it should only be available for him and his mates.
Stands off soapbox and prepares to recieve incoming!!

Yup can verify 10W's comment re BA. Came back from SFo last year and was very surprised at deck angle of the jet. When Fo appeared he explained that they had to arrive on time and due tailwinds would be extreemely early hence FMS to Min Fuel!

Heathrow Director,
The message has already gone out to BAW that holding just for the sake of delaying landing time to ETA -20 minutes will not be allowed once inside TC airspace.
Any delaying action should be made before it gets into the TMA. Next time one asks "just say no"
