At least, enough to take the extra workload of vectoring you away and make you slow down so the Air Nostrum (i guess) could overtake your hardly won space in the sequence. Maybe his mother in law was in that plane? That would be the only reason i can imagine for taking such ridiculous actions just to put you behind the slow-moving guy.
Can you think of any other reason? iīm really eager to find out.
Best regards.
I have no idea when he decided to do what he did. How much extra workload is it to make us slow down?!
Any other reason other than it was a Spanish aircraft you mean? No, I can't think of a single one either.
Tell you what why don't you explain why
you as an ATCO would want to put a slow turbo prop from at least twenty miles behind a 737 to about ten miles in front in the space of twenty minutes...
