This might also be a good time to bring up the fact that the majority of ATCO's in the Gulf don't seem to know the difference between min clean and min approach speed. Some day I am going to reduce to min approach when asked and see how doing 140kts at 60nm screws up your sequence. It cuts both ways and you can't have it every way. Also while we are axe grinding most jets can either go down OR slow down but they can't effectively do both together. Make up your minds when asking to expedite descent and reduce speed cause one of them ain't gonna happen.
