And I thought pay had to do with everything in this industry.
dashtrash300,

There was one cogent idea on the table when I elected to participate in this discussion. I also declared my intent to not be contemptuous.

I was talking about stabilized approaches and mathematics of the aforementioned examples.

5100 feet/5 miles= 1020 ft/mile x 110 knots / 60 = 1870 feet per minute.

I never mentioned the word "stupid," you did. I never made an inference.

I never mentioned renumeration; you did.

Safety has "everything to do" in [our] industry...at least that is my viewpoint.

Fly safe, and I wish you the best with your aspirations.
