I flew over to MEL from ADL yesterday morning. Might as well have been at .62. Planned .78, flew .78 50kt tailwind, and 19 mnutes from ML we were given 20 minutes holding. When asked how long the delay had been apparent, the ATC replied 10 minutes. Would have been nice to know earlier to slow down n save some gas, surely this communication thing has to be both ways.
