AUH ATC
Ok, Firstly this is not a pilots moaning about ATC thread, just a couple of questions.
1. At busy times inbound to AUH, why do you not send aircraft to a hold, we get odd vectors. Arriving with not too much gas, at least a hold and an EAT would give us better planning options.
2. Decending to 2000', again at busy times we get a long final, 15-20 nm, and we are cleared to 2000' and at times asked hurry down to the level, can we not dump that and say intercept a 4000' instead particually if you slow us to 180kt downwind. Fuel saved on route is lost in AUH.
As I said I'm not having a go, I'd just like to know,
Thanks
