In a 2000lxs/6x… when they ask us to slow to final a longs ways out- we always ask if they are sure lol. SR-22’s catch us on final just about.
Can always give a controller a ride if they happen to be in MHT.

Yeah we were going into MSY and right before we switched to tower we were told to slow to final since traffic in front of us had "dropped the anchor." Turns out it was a Falcon, I had to tell the FO that its ref is just over 100 knots if it is light.
Still miss the Falcon though, such a delight to fly.

107 Vapp with the 5 knot wind buffer added 90% of the time. Calm winds and were usually about 102 unless tankering.

I was there for a year. Easiest money I ever made, but sadly it wasn't enough for the cost of living up there. Pretty decent work environment too

PHL based here....but my sky nAAzi overlords don't allow beards for jumpseaters (pretty sure we're the only ones with that stupid rule).

There is a possibility that I may be bringing your favorite in next month. Saw it in the bid packet

Nah, they’re forbidden in the land of double breasted blazers too.

Who doesn't want to look like Sean Connery? You would think it would be encouraged.

Y’all are always welcome on us with beards. Not sure what we have out of that area, but for peak (Nov-Dec), we’ll definitely be around there.
Just riding NE's coat tails. I'll travel to meet anywhere in Eastern PA, north Jersey, or hudson valley NY. Pocono based for now...
Also not shaving my beard.

All my facial hair has died in the follicle equivalent of the electric chair but I’d like the big fuzzy cap he wore in the opening for my walk arounds. Goes better with my nice, thick, actually warm wool trench coat. Though I also think bump caps would be good issue for walk arounds too so…
But this is the same company that when the new uniforms rolled out decided there weren’t enough female captains to justify manufacturing women’s blazers with four stripes so I don’t hold much hope for uniform improvements.

ATI allows beards. Normally no flights from EWR or PHL though, but there are several flights per day out of ABE.

I had one the other day from Norcal (A group of controllers that I generally love!)—something like "Slow to 210 knots (from 280), descend and maintain 6,000, expedite your descent through 8,000.
Hey, bud, I don't know how to tell you this, but you've got to pick one.

That is a far more concise and polite way of saying it. Obscenities aside (sorry mods), I really do think it would be useful for some folks to get a chance to see what the impact of their directions are.......in the most positive, lets have a learning experience, way. And I agree, norcal generally rocks. Honestly, controllers are awesome as a whole, and I could never do their jobs. But I think in some instances, they just don't know what they don't know.

Just have to move off the Bedford/bow/Portsmouth line and it’s not bad.
Houses are stupid at the moment however.
