Actually over here we have expedite spelled out for the pilots (should have pictures though since they don't seem to get the flick <G> ). When they float down though when I tell them to expedite and it isn't working anymore then the vector comes into effect <G>. They then ask what do you need. I tell them I needed your best and I see that it wasn't good enough, don't worry about it though, we will take care of it for you.... <EG>
I have and do use the FPM stuff when I need to ensure separation though, as well as crossing restrictions. The other stuff is when you are trying to get everyone down for the sequence. Yes, I know, you use the stacks, we have a quaint method of putting them in line and handing them off to approach though <BG>..
