ATC were definately 'packing' that day.
I knew there was a problem as we were catching up the no.2 too fast. (plainly he was catching the Turk too fast.)
We (no.3) were given 160 kt, but I could see on the TCAS it was still too fast especially given our distance out with two ahead. There just wasn't the room.
So we slowed to less than 160 to try and keep back from the Transavia.
I knew there was going to be trouble and sensed that someone would be going around. I was trying to make sure it wasn't us! They seemed to have packed too tight.
I was tickled when the Transavia was sent round and thought our trouble was over as there would now be a nice gap.
Not so tickled when I learned why.
Our intercept was working nicely, btw. Maybe they'd tried squeezing the Turk in ahead of us? Hard to tell.
