Errr... not so great a post im afraid
Many pilots here seem to lack overall experience, otherwise they would stop complaining about a highly professional and highly efficient system: Going into PHL from the north, quite normal for European carriers, you will have to reach FL240 160NM out, 16.000 when 100NM. Look for that in Europe!
Happens every day in the UK although with all your experience you would know that....
FL330 by EXMOR, 200 @ OKTEM, 200 Abeam TNT, 120 25 Before POL.
All far from optimal....been discussed dozens of times on here
highly professional and highly efficient system
