McDude, thanks for backing me up, sometimes the controlling here is as bad as the 90s, that is, no improvement in 20 years.
Heading away from the airport ( sorry, that should have been SSE from DOTMI )at cruise speed is stupid and a waste of fuel, why can't we be given a " time over DOTMI " for example, or why can't we reduce spped whilst heading AWAY from the airport, thats airspace issues is it ?
Also passing abeam the threshold at FL190 with 100 odd track miles to run is ridiculous and a waste of fuel, and then someone 200nm east lands before you, this is not normal.
