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.
Problem is we don't know they are there until we start descent. Then we get vectored off and have to speed up our descent with thrust on to make our time. I have also seen this scenario totally confuse ATC as they have the aircraft 2 minutes apart at the fix but virtually on top of each other. Constant IAS all the way from everybody would probably fix the problem but the Fokkers don't seem to do that for whatever reason.
