Morale speed!!

How about they're violating their oceanic clearance by not flying the cleared mach number.....it ain't optional.

Had Purser a once that didn't want to serve a what I think was a NetJet
guy. Pretty funny really as he had boarded in uniform but had changed to something more comfortable for a North Atlantic flight. He was up front too. Upsetting for me as I had to actually make a Captain like decision .

Flying is inherently bad for the environment, as is pretty much everything humans do. Trying to consume less and minimize my impact on the environment makes me a “doosh”?

Alrighty, the 100% hit rate on someone who writes it "doosh" actually being one themselves, remains untarnished.

Flying is bad for the environment, and flying inefficiently is even worse.
