10 DME, Plazbot and BlueSkye
Thanks guys, the quote might have been misleading. Changing sequence for some company reasons would be unacceptable.
Changing sequence for efficiency might make sense, as long as it involves your stated one position and 2 mins, but 7 mins would start pinching a bit, if you were issued an earlier EAT and a little short of fuel.
It points however to a problem which is very virulent in the DXB airspace: Wake turbulence category separation. With the arrival of the Fatboy a new problem arose. Especially annoying is the looooong wait of a Flydubai lightweight behind a 380. I know from a ATC friend that you guys categorically deny that the hourly rate went down with the arrival of the Fatboy, but it seems to us out there at the threshold that it effectively did.
AS FD now splits its operation for the runway closure, i don't know what hampers the complete shift to DWC. It would only be beneficial for everyone.
