Ok pilots, I got a question for you (esp those of you at 2 certain airlines that I won't mention). When you are in busy airspace, say coming into one of the NY airports, why do some of you slow from 250kts to 210 or less before you are given a speed assignment, and why do so many of you not bother to tell the controller that you want/need to/are slowing? Do you not realize that you have planes behind you still doing 250kts? Do you not realize I may need you to keep your speed in order to hit the gap and for my sequence to work? And additionally, if I give you a speed to keep to the FAF, please do NOT slow before the FAF!
