Got it.
You follow your employers rules so who gives a square root about other operators.A professional controller should know what a widebody is capable of and the gates operators have to operate to. The rest of the world certainly seem capable of managing it but a lot of US controllers think talking fast equates to skill and thus they are often very mediocre at controlling.
The suggestion was for a meeting between pilots and controllers. It is a very popular concept this side of the ocean.
