Why they leveled at ~6000’ for a time and tracked West toward a different transition waypoint than other arrivals is curious to me more than a critical fuel status, but stranger things have happened. That said, those wouldn’t have been causal, but perhaps a significant link. I stand by my ‘amateur-hour’ speculations and don’t feel they detract from the discussion.
