Geo VNAV is more efficient than slam idle descents across the board Trip. Plus its more "comfortable" for the pax in the back. the wing actually prefers it as well. Behaves well within its preferred region.
the idle descent logic being efficient - that is a fallacy going around the boeing camp that you've bought into.
Boeing has all the data to validate what I've stated What it really comes down to is cost. Its cheaper to run the slam idle profile versus the geo. Simple as that. Ergo we get the slam idle.
But what do I know.
You'll still be bringing in the fat stacks of $$$ at 73NA pay while I'm slugging it out in the trenches on the 7ERB side. So although an interesting theoretical discussion. You win in the end
