I don’t think this is fair on our colleagues in ATC.
They consider much more than the single aircraft we sit in. If I had to consider the highly variable foreign operators (and just how far out they’ll slow to min speed, or how far below MSA they’ll fly) and create a plan to space these aircraft... it’d be a hell of a day to quit sniffing glue.
The major 4 domestic airlines (narrow body) are probably the most flexible resource THEY have to smooth the flow out, and this will probably happen within the last 30nm.
I believe we should consider it our part to assist as best we can, as the gap we fill, or stretch out, is probably what evens out the approach and departure rate.
I cannot do their job, and appreciate how they help me do mine.
Cheers ATC.
