Who cares ya can't go .85 or cruise at 41. It's a much nicer ride even if you're going only .75 or stuck at FL340.
.75 works great for me. We get paid by the hour not leg completion. I always wondered why so many pilots are in such a hurry to reach the destination doing .81 just to land earlier and therefore stopping their own pay clock.
