WWJD?
So we find ourselves descending and encounter light to moderate turbulence. What would Jose do?
1) Continue in vnav descend now or path at 1000 fpm and get the snot kicked out of you.
2) Utilize vnav speed or God forbid, lvl chg,
and expeditiously exit the level of turbulence?
While we're on discussion, do we haul *** thru turbulence or slow down for dental filing preservation?
Obtw, when climbing and the dispatcher says in writing you will climb at CI 120. It really is ok to reef it back to .78/280 for turbulence.
I only ask because this is not a one off experience but a continual eye roll. Rant over.

When keying the mike, pushing buttons on the MCP, or push/pulling the yoke: I like to think I've got a cabin full of my mom. She's 78 years old.
I like to do and say things nice and easy because she has no idea what we're doing up here, is pretty nervous about it all, and if it wasn't for people like her back there I wouldn't get to sit up here.
