Anytime you have a panel missing, you’ll be slower... are you on the 175 or something?

However, all signs point to this guy was doing the speed to “reinstate his bonus,” not because he saw it on the release.

.69 saw that a few times and just laughed.

I have never understood why everyone is in such a hurry in a job where we’re paid by the minute.

Well apparently NVA missed a commute home because someone was going .64 ahead of him to earn some extra money.

Maybe but it sure makes for a fun pax experience in cruise...

Flying at redline the whole way is useless when you get there so early that you have to wait 30 minutes for a gate. That seems to always be the case at Lga and it’s always on go home leg.

Seriously the difference in TAS between .76 and .79 is like 8 knots. You are talking about saving less that 3 minutes on the average regional route. Shortcuts save more time.

Exactly. Fly the flight planned speed. You will never get in trouble or have to carpet dance for flying as planned and mutually agreed upon by the dispatcher. And guess what? If we are chronically early, you better believe the next time they revise the blocks for that city pair it will be lower....congrats on getting another pay cut.

But by all means, continue flying redline to make your commute flight that is probably delayed by the time you get to the gate if its on AA.
