when I did my observation ride it was in DFW and the FO was kind of new, like 6 months on the line, and the captain took the airplane in 15mph guest 20mph head on, because the FO was 5 knots over REF, going into DFW at 200 feet. I just dont get it. Its dont get slow, and dont get super fast in my book, unless its keywest 5 knots are not going to kill anyone on a 12,000ft runway.
