HKF, I don't understand. What's wrong with heading SSW after DOTMI? DOTMI - MAGOG is SSW, right? Would you rather have heading SSE?!!!
East sector radar controllers have to integrate DOTMI traffic with the ELATO traffic into one sequence. Therefore a little turn to the left from DOTMI is sometimes inevitable. I admit some controllers would excessively vector aircraft to acheive the spacing when speed control is more appropriate. On the othe hand, there are situations where vectoring is the best tool. Bear in mind that the East sector arrival airspace is very narrow. This is the reason why several turns are necessary.
J68, don't you carry holding fuel? isn't it mandatory?
