Attention EK A330 pilots
Guys,
it happens just about every time that an EK A330 is made number one in a sequence...he dives for the deck and then stops, knocking on some serious speeds and/or vectors on the following pilots.
Today, we had an A330 thru BUBIN given speed of 310 and DCT LOVEL to keep him number one ahead of another companies A330.
The trailer was given min clean and was STILL overhauling the EK bus.(and he DID slow down).
The EK bus was at A100 with 70 miles to touch, he didn't seem too happy about not being given lower and when I couldn't approve lower he wanted to slow down????? Situational awareness....nil
Now I realise that we aren't flying your aircraft, and we are not pilots, but why is there such a disparity in the way different airlines drive their A330s?
Sensible answers only please, I am really interested...if it is going to be a standard thing, we can take measures to prevent too much vectoring for all the following aircraft, by taking the A330 out of the sequence and bringing everyone else in ahead of it.
