You could just demand a descent from ATC. That'll scare the f@kkers.
And here is the whole problem.
All of you Fockers have different profiles and all want priority.
If you are 5,000ft above profile then you aren’t going to be able to maintain your companies registered profile speeds inside 30nm.
You will then get stuffed around by APP.
What else are we supposed to do???
Even if you were all driving Bongo737s or scarebus A320s you would fly them differently and need to be “adjusted”.
Bloggs you are correct about the close in departures and then add CB-ML, TWB-BN type flights which all have the same priority as the sky gods and you can guess the complexity.
Try to chill and work together, if the guy in front of you looks like the are going to impede your descent ask for a vector ffs.
