Default Re: Controller Questioning A Pilot's Technique . . .

This thread reminds me of the old story about a late descent clearance:

Controller: "Cross ZZZ at 10,000."
Pilot: "We're too high to comply with that restriction."
Controller: "Don't you have speedbrakes on that thing?"
Pilot: "Those are for my mistakes, not yours."
