What is better climb faster/slower indicated or faster indicated and possible lower climb rate, in order to get the turn to the airway?

I always thought it was distance so flying faster would be better, but the guy I was flying with today thought a getting higher faster was better.

Both make sense to me, why would you want to blast off 300kts in the wrong direction right? but if you don't get the turn until X amount of miles from the airport then wouldn't getting there faster be better?

When you are in NYC airspace, and they ask you for your speed, you say, "What's it to you? You got a problem? You want to know my speed? How's it feel to want!" and the F/O should look at you and say, "Tell him I got his fkng speed, right here!" and grab his crotch. And when they hand you off to BOS, be sure you sign off with, "Contact Boston on 128.5, and the Yankees still suck!":D

DXB for two days. Land before the fun begins on the 31st with friends from EK. Heck of a job but somebody's gotta do it.

My guess is no matter what you do, you won't be able to notice it by the time you get there. Just fly your company's profile and airspeeds like everyone else. Its easier.

Im not worried, I was curious thank you Mr. Checkairman

I do fly the profile, but today this guy wanted to climb at green dot so it got me thinking.
