And, by the way, if a controler tells you to be leveled in 3 minutes, might be because there's traffic around.
A while ago I asked what was the reason since the sun wasn't even up and my TCAS was showing nobody in my way, the answer was LOA.
Between your LOA and my high yield customer just waking up after along journey I give priority to the latter.
Especially if you haven't been kind to me lately.

In order to help, would you mind answering my questions ? Or did I just spit in the wind ? Would it help ?
Sure if you gave me a specific point by which to be steady (possibly along my normal descent profile) and the freedomg to start my descent when ready it would help.
But speaking english to all traffic would also help my situational awareness as would improving your language skills or more flexibility with regard to levels and re-routings.
