ACR FLC MISREADS ARR PROC RESULTING IN ALT; SPD DEV.

Narrative

INBOUND ON THE ROME 7 ARR TO ATL; WITH TFC LNDG E; I HAD MADE THE ERROR OF PLANNING MY DSCNT TO CROSS DALAS INTXN (29 DME) NW OF ATL VOR AT 14000 FT. UNFORTUNATELY; THIS IS THE LNDG W XING GATE. I DID NOT REALIZE MY ERROR UNTIL THE CTR CTLR ISSUED US THE RESTR TO CROSS 40 DME AT 13000 FT AND 250 KTS. I IMMEDIATELY REALIZED THAT WE COULDN'T MAKE THE XING AND INITIATED A MAX PERFORMANCE DSCNT (IDLE PWR; FULL SPOILERS). I ASKED THE CAPT TO ADVISE ATC THAT WE COULDN'T MAKE THE RESTR. HE SAID 'JUST DO THE BEST YOU CAN; HE'LL VECTOR US IF HE NEEDS TO.' WE LEVELED AT 13000 FT AT 38 DME AT 330 KTS. THE CTLRS SOON GAVE US A 090 DEG VECTOR AND ASKED US TO SLOW TO 180 KTS FOR SPACING; AND SUBSEQUENTLY A 180 DEG AND 160 KT VECTOR. THEY DID NOT MENTION OUR EXCESSIVE SPD SPECIFICALLY. WHEN I FIRST MENTIONED TO THE CAPT THAT I DIDN'T THINK WE WOULD MAKE THE RESTR; HE LAUNCHED INTO A TIRADE ABOUT HOW 'YOU GUYS (COPLTS) ARE ALWAYS MISING XING RESTRS.' I HAD NEVER MISSED A RESTR WITH FLYING WITH HIM BEFORE. SOME CONCLUSIONS ARE OBVIOUS. I WILL READ MY CHARTS MORE CAREFULLY FROM NOW ON. IF THE CAPT WON'T ADVISE ATC WHEN I ASK HIM TO; I'LL PICK UP MY OWN MIKE AND DO IT MYSELF IF THERE IS A NEXT TIME. THERE WILL NOT BE A NEXT TIME FOR ME WITH THIS CAPT. I WILL BID MORE CAREFULLY TO STAY AWAY FROM HIM; AND RPT HIS ACTIONS TO PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS. HE WAS AWARE OF MY IMPENDING FOUL-UP AND; I BELIEVE; DELIBERATELY ALLOWED ME TO GET BEHIND THE DSCNT PROFILE IN ORDER TO 'TEACH ME A LESSON' -- HIS WORDS.
