Rotor& "Wings" ...
New York Approach screwed up and gave us a crossing altitude of 11,000
feet, we were at FL310 and about 20 miles from the fix. My FO replied
we would give it our best. The controller comes back and says " Don't
those 727's have speed brakes?" to which I replied "Roger that, but
those are for MY mistakes, not yours"........................

Isn't that the normal "setup & dump" into LGA? ;-)
