We also have variables like EK saying certain aircraft has to have priority over other EK's
@10 DME

Can you confirm this is happening and accepted from ATC?????

It would be very discomforting and not acceptable.

I truly believe that coming into the TMA should give you the sequence that determines your EAT. As you and Plazbot describe, there are very many factors that can influence the EAT, but it should be shifting everybody and not individual airframes to the company's liking.
Where would we go with that if it was really true?
Like Fatboys first, because they have a drinking problem? Then 345s, then John Deers, finally the Lighttwin?
Or maybe the flights with VVIP first, then VIP, then SAMIP (self appointed more important persons)?

HTF are we supposed to manage our strategies?

Tell me that it is not true, please!
