ATC XING RESTR TOO LATE FOR COMPLIANCE.

Narrative

WE WERE CLRED DIRECT GLAND INTXN; GLAND ARR; IAH APCH. THERE WAS A TSTM OVER GLAND INTXN; SO CTR CLRED US DIRECT TO IAH VOR. WE WERE AT 21000 FT AT ABOUT 58 DME DSNDING FL190 AT 280 KTS FOR TURB. AT APPROX 52 DME CTR SAID CLRED TO DSND TO 10000 FT; CROSS 40 SW IAH AT 10000 FT. WE LOOKED AT OUR DME. AT THIS TIME WE WERE AT ABOUT 19500 FT WHEN WE ACKNOWLEDGED. THIS ABOVE CLRNC 9000 PLUS FT TO LOSE IN APPROX 11-12 MI; NO WAY. WE TOLD CTR UNABLE. HE SAID DISREGARD THE SPD AT GLAND OF 250 KTS. WE PICKED UP SPD TO OUR VMO 340 KTS AND WE HAD THE SPD BRAKE OUT. WE DID THIS WHEN HE HAD ORIGINALLY GIVEN US THE CLRNC TO 10000 FT. WE TOLD HIM AGAIN AT 44 DME WE WERE APPROX 13400 FT MSL; THAT WE WERE UNABLE. 40 DME AT 10000 FT HE SAID DISREGARD THE SPD AT GLAND INTXN. WE COULDN'T DSND ANY FASTER AND WE DIDN'T GET LEVEL AT 10000 FT TILL 35 DME. THE CTLR ASKED US TO RPT LEVEL 10000 FT WHICH WE DID AT 35 DME. WE WERE NEVER GIVEN LOWER ALT UNTIL WE WERE TOO CLOSE TO THAT RESTR. WE WERE BEING STEPPED DOWN DUE TO COMPANY FLT THAT WAS AHEAD OF US. THIS ACFT DOES NOT COME DOWN LIKE A B727. CTLRS NEED TO REMEMBER THE NEW ACFT WITH THE NEW WINGS WITH LESS SWEEP CAN COME DOWN SO FAST; 5000-6000 FT TOPS AT VMO. GIVE US A SLOW SPD AND THE RATE REALLY SLOWS DOWN.
