try this

The quickest way to descend an airbus is open descent. The quickest way to slow an airbus is selected speed and "push for alt".

Lets say they said "be at 4000' by COMEL at 220 kts, and expedite."...

Company suggestion

Dry runway; kick off all of the drift

Wet runway; kick off half the drift

Contaminated runway; kick off none of the drift

Standard rate.

There used to be a thing called the standard rate of descent. It means that you can descend at whatever ROD you like but the last 1000 feet have to be at 500 fpm. That is where the 500 fpm comes...

I don't get onto Pprune much any more since I left HK, but I reckon you have the best callsign.
