Hey ASA
Hey ASA--do you guys have a profile descent of 260/270 knots on arrival??? Is this a company policy or what???
Memphis has been backed up like nothing else in recent months--I'm not going to point fingers or anything (I know you guys have rigs--and wish we had them at 9E). However, it's getting a little ridiculous slowing down to 250 for in-trail spacing 240 miles out, every single friggin' morning on the arrivals (especially SW gate)...and 90% of the time, it happens immediately after they query an Acey in front of us doing 260/270...
While I'm on here, thanks to the ASA crew that rolled all the way to the end of 36R, telling the tower "unable" when instructed to turn left on Papa AND Sierra 3, in what the tower and my crew considered an intentional attempt to make us go around...you gave me the opportunity to fill out a FSR for the first time in a few months...

We use "econ speeds" for climb (except when departing out of Bravo), cruise, and descent. We punch some numbers into the Acars and a recommended speed pops up based on the winds, fuel index, etc. Obviously any ATC instruction takes precedence over the econ speed.

How's your contract negotiations going? Maybe you shouldn't have been going so fast.

Why do Pinnacle guys in the 900 always turn the tiller full left or right before the aircraft has started moving? Have you seen the skidmarks the nose gear leave on the pavement? It's comical, I see it all day long. Let me guess, it's a stretch and they need all the room they can get to move out of the tight confines of the ATL ramps...

Just because you aren't paid by the minute doesn't mean the rest of us who are should get out of your way.

First off the rig is based on schedule not actual, also, ATC can tell us to speed up if we are really ruining the MEM airspace as you say.
