BUMP

Here is a list of preferred arrivals per ARTCC for most of the traffic flow, on average.
For anyone who has the old RNAVs (JAGGR, CREDE, BOSSS, TELLR, etc.), we do not want to see those. Do not file them. Please file the non-RNAV equivalent instead. We have no resources for those old arrivals and do not play nicely with the new metroplexed arrivals.

From ZHU/ZFW via NIIXX2
From ZTL CLASH3
Non RNAV QUAIL1

From ZAU via LAWGR2
Non RNAV LANDR2

From ZLA via SSKII2
From ZAB via TBARR2
Non RNAV from ZLA via POWDR1
Non RNAV from ZAB via LARKS2

From ZLC & ZOA via LONGZ1
Non RNAV via TOMSN8
Offload RNAV via FLATI2
Offload Non RNAV via RAMMS8

Everything else from the East via the LAWGR2
