On the beach, they implemented new STARs and SIDs recently, in my ( and most of the work colleagues I speak to ) experiences, we have never been stuffed around so much, especially coming through Sierra.
The " new improved " shortened STARs looked good on paper but are rarely used ( normally significant vectoring to add track miles ) and now coming through DOTMI is worse too eg : heading SSW from DOTMI, ridiculous speed reductions ( 180IAS @ 30tr miles ), and even holding on days when the weather is fine.
This is the norm, it is very unusual to not get speed restrictions or extra trk miles.
It sucks
