January 17, 200323 yr I just completed several trips on UA and listened to ATC during the flights. I noted some things that I'd like to suggest as considerations for the next versions of the product.1. In departing KIAD destined to KORD we were given a ground hold at KIAD per Indianapolis Center direction because of saturation at KORD. Once we got a release time and became airborne, there was significant vectoring accompanied by speed and altitude restrictions before given vectors to "join the transition" and to "resume our own navigation". 2. While enroute between KDEN-KIAD, Kansas City center was doing a lot of vectoring and setting of speed restrictions for "spacing". The speed restrictions were of the form "do not exceed xx mach" or give me at least xx mach".3. When conditions were favorable, approach would state "expect vectors for 'visual approach' runway xx". Currently in RC3, apporach does not tell you to expect vectors for a visual approach and the option to request a visual is actually reporting the field in site.Just some ideas ...-michael
