I think the point here is that the EDLEE arrival is poorly designed. It was implemented to reduce controller workload, ie 'Descend Via'. Many pilots hate it. I wonder how many pilot deviations it has caused?

I think it would be pretty simple for all the aircraft with FMS and auto-throttles. Type if speeds/cross restrictions in and it does it all for you.

Seems to me that all the RNAV departures and arrivals cause problems...
