Within the last year or so, a bean counter came up with the "great" idea that the 320 can save lots of fuel if we land flaps 3 instead of flaps full.
I won't go into the myrad of problems that arise with this but I will say this....If I'm ever in front of a jury having to explain myself, I'd rather explain why I landed flaps full than why I didn't land flaps full.
