May be it was just my poor antipodean English, but the guy that was killing my sequence was the front guy!
He was given direct and high speed....and was then at A100 with 70 to touch. My question was why was he that low in the first place.
He was assigned 300kts or more by Muscat and on first contact I assigned 310 and direct, the last thing I want him to do is slow down!
Granted I held up his descent...but tell me, what level would he have been at BUBIN? 6000 or so?
Anyway guys, just tucking into a nice coldie, thanks for the replies thus far.
