Try dragging A-10s across the Atlantic and then speeding up when you pass them off. If you don't get clearance to speed up, you will hear about it.

Or a big car show and say that car accidents kill people.
Instead of complaining about fuel burn rates on APC, why don't you write an email to the CSAF and dime out your USAF "brethren" who are so cruel to the environment. In fact, write your Congressmen and tell them your Wing needs less of a fuel budget for the year so you can fly Best Endurance everywhere you go. Tell 'em it is better for the Environment...

Did you know that your cleared mach can be amended, just like any other element of a clearance?

Doosh. TOTD.

For future reference, if you find yourself having to put words in a poster's mouth which they didn't actually say, in order to find a justification for calling them names, you're the problem in that scenario.

You obviously need to spend some quality time with F/As discussing what they are responsible for in back. One of the things they do while boarding is mentally choosing people who they think would be Able Bodied Passengers (ABPs) in case they need assistance.
By IDing yourself to them they know they have at least one TRAINED ABP they can rely on. Do I really need to hook up with an F/A I'll never see again? Nope. I'll leave that for you Tinder browsing millennials out there.

gee thanks.The post I responded to indicated the choice to speed up on the NATS was made "because nobody is stopping them" - not as result of an amended clearance or request to change speed.
