Ali Bin Somewhere

so if i give dubai 11nm instead of 10 or 23,9 instead of 20 i hope you will forgive me
I hope this is not a typical ACC standard reply!
Hey, a lost 1 NM or 3,9 NM is extra delay for the next in the queue.
THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH BUDDY.
Can you imagine places like KJFK, KORD, EGLL, EDDF, EHAM wasting all these miles??? You would be fired (or never checked out). Even Zurich ACC is spacing in very very crowded airspace (exactly) 5 NMs.

So back on the horse Ali. Try to tighten up the spacing and you'll get rid of your hold a lot quicker
