Today on L.A. Center going to SJC-

Center: "Southwest XXX cleared direct ROBIE, maintain .78 or greater"
Southwest XXX: "Roger, .78 or greater."
Center: "Skywest XXXX, cleared direct ROBIE, maintain minimum forward speed."
Skywest XXXX: "We'll GLADLY slow down for Southwest!!!"

It took every ounce of restraint for me not to key up and make "kissing up" sounds. Tools.
