then 250 till underlying class B then 200 to the OM. It was max legal speed all the way.
There you go, you are being reasonable. It does cost us (or anyone these days) a lot of money to go around, so keeping the assigned speeds at Major airports is a must. But, I can understand that it happens sometimes. Just try to keep it to a minimum, and if you have to make sure you take the legs into busy airports if you feel you have a weak FO.

I just wanted people to see this from my point of view, that's all.
Guess those Delta guys forgot how to do S Turns. ATC is responsible for separation in Bravo.
I've always let ATC know I'll be slow when the big guys are behind me. I've even offered to ATC to slow more to let them by me in the past, and have gotten thank yous.
What grinds my gears about this situation, is that, 1. it wasn't busy, 2. I did advise ATC of our app speed long before being cleared for the app., and 3. there was no need for what was said on the radio.
Just for the record GLee, my FO does a great job, he was doing what I told him to do.

When did you slow to your final 117Kt speed? It may have been too early, and since you are saying he was following your lead, maybe it is you who need to manage your speed better. Not trying to bust your ballz, but hey, welcome to ATL, the busiest airport in the world.
