Hi guys,
Just another question about flow control.
I was once inbound and given a hold at the IAF, with the appropriate EAT. I managed to slow down sufficiently to make my ETA exactly the same as EAT(marvels of GPS).
Just after getting my EAT, another airliner behind us in original ETA, was given a EAT 10 mins after us. Our new ETA(same as EAT) was now after the other aircraft's ETA. When ATC discovered that our ETA was later than other aircraft, they promptly swopped us around ie I ended up as number 2 because I had slowed down.
Should I have objected?
PS this obviously did not happen in your part of the world(nor JHB for that matter).
Thanx
