Can any Sydney controllers explain this one? It's happened to me a number of times before but the example the other day was so blatant and frustrating:
AUDLY 2 arrival, approaching NASHO 5500' 250KIAS. Talking to Director.
"XXX cancel STAR, turn left heading 030, descend to 2000, cleared visual approach runway 34L."
Ok, not TOO big a drama but then 30s later:
"XXX reduce to not above 160 knots, SAAB on final, pretty slow"
#&%$!
Guys, this makes life really difficult. It's not impossible but it just really increases our workload. Sure it's almost even fun for us but for a heavy jet to be cut in and slowed down like that, sheesh...
