Same f/o going into LAS goes into TOGA for a RA that had us climb at 300 feet per minute. It was a really long Saturday.
Tool status comes from the fact that he insisted he was right.
Wow. A class in how NOT to fly an Airbus.
Does Us Air teach the high energy visual in which you use open descent with everything hanging out? That's good for about 1000ft per mile. Sounds like someone needed some schooling.
