Glad that you know precisely how many times you've failed to comply with a restriction.
Not saying this is the case here, but i was based in IAH for a long time and they always seemed to be the worst with dumping you in on a short approach and then "Acey, I show a 60 knot overtake on traffic ahead, slow to your final approach speed." Reeeallly? So that 737 ahead is doing 80 knots? Or is it possible your radar hasn't updated yet from your last request that I come falling out of the sky from 7000 feet?
