What's with the assumptions about Citations? I have to be patient everyday as I'm climbing at 300/.80, cruising at .91, and descending at 340/.90, all while dodging Madogs and such.
If you stick to the assigned speeds (or your FO does it thanks to YOUR watching), then there really shouldn't be any goarounds. Controllers are usually pretty good at putting planes in slots, and can tell when spacing is getting tight. Depending on what runway you are on and the associated traffic, the Delta guy could have asked for a slight S-turn at worst. Sounds like you need to brief your FO on proper procedures and not rolling to the end. If you are an RJ or turboprop, the first highspeed is usually the one you should aim for. Larger planes usually go to the second.

You're right. The Delta crew should have KNOWN, via their experience, that you guys would screw up the system in Atlanta. Their bad.
Ha!Ha!....now thats funny!
Hollywood is absolutely right...it's HIS runway not your airlines' runway; even if you are in your hub city which happens to have the busiest airport in the world. ATC should better manage spacing between aircraft and/or communicate better as to what speed you want the aircraft to maintain. Or, better yet, the DAL pilot could have ANTICIPATED this happening, being that he was following a STRAIGHT wing jet. With all that experience 'flying the heavies', he should have known better.
True! Although I never have been asked to fly faster than 170 by ATC going into TEB. If it's visual we hold 170kts till 500ft as per.... you guessed it, the SOP.
