10DME, you're right not EK.
It's just I don't get doing circles at Desdi and then not doing the full arrival. If the arrival ain't full then why hold us. I am sure there are many variables that we pilots don't get to see but it's just a curious situation that we have to plan for the whole STAR and then don't end up flying it having been holding.
Thanks for other replies.
Any idea why the shorter arrivals are not in use yet?
Lately, the 124.9 controller has been really good at telling people where to expect their base turn (can't you figure the track miles yourself?).

SC, I hope that wasn't aimed at me. I can work out miles quite well thanks but am staggered by the amount of people who seem less able to…..
