Time after time you will be in the same ground position no matter that the QNH is way above standard or hoofing Easterly tail wind BHX no better
When was the last time you flew into BHX?
Rwy 33 FL80 at HON passing HON 210kts descent to 4000ft QNH you have about 28 miles to touch down plenty of room for anyone to get the aircraft down. If you want to route HON EBONY GROVE then just let me know and we'll bang you into the hold at GROVE and you can descend with all the miles you think you need whilst we let all the guys and girls that can get their aircraft down 4000ft in 20 miles land ahead of you.
Have you ever been to visit ATC at BHX you would be made welcome and we could explain some of the airspace limitations that we have.
All traffic vectored into BHX now is given a CDA (continuous descent approach) all ATCOs are trained to provide them. If for any reason you are high, it is generally because London have kept you high inbound because the departures to the south conflict with the inbound routes!
