Isn't it all a bit like the man who half way up to the pulley met the bucket coming down?

A discussion question to test experience, prejudices, naivete.....
Aircraft wishes to join UG853 at the dogleg shown. Flying from FHAW/ASI the distance to TITOR is 1285nm, magnetic course 007 degrees. Currently there is 100nm to go to the dogleg.There are no problems and the FMS indicates recommended max cruise FL380. A BA 747-400 southbound and a Virgin A340-300 coincidentally will arrive in the close vicinity of TITOR at the same time as the joining aircraft
Q1 - What do you expect your current FL to be and why?
Q2 - What should be your next FL?
Q3 - Discuss what must, what should, what could and what probably will happen!
216 Sqn RAF, Bmi, Air Luxor pilots stop smiling now!
