Not true Einstein... Like pilots in Europe we are trained to conserve fuel as best as possible which means essentially the same profiles are followed when ever possible. What does it mean when STN director tells us to descend from 6000 to 3000 in 9 miles. Does that mean that he can dilly dally down to 3000 at his own convenience. Does that mean that he can descend below 3000 before the director clears him otherwise?
