My thoughts. Abolish the term "visual approach.' Why? Because everyone flies that style of approach a little differently. ATC should nominate the speed when they want people to slow down to and that stops the reduction or increase in seperation track miles.
Get rid of the 250kts exiting the hold. And for christ sake if they've got radar use it effectively. And finally, if any of the ATCO's can organise a study trip, I suggest visiting London, in particular LGW, for an education on how to handle a 'busy' single runway traffic environment.
