Does your company offer you a bonus for saving fuel and reducing block time? I don't mean to be wasteful, but I'm also not gonna break my back and risk an EDCT just to save myself from having to board. Pushing makes sense for everyone involved, unless its going to be hours upon hours.
And for my question: I guess I get most confused by a slowdown and a shortcut, or a maintain 310 and a 30 degree vector for spacing. These two situations seem counterproductive. What would the purpose of either of these be?
