Narrative:
Flight to nashville was on the chsne 2 RNAV arrival into nashville for runway 2C. Approaching the bgstr fix with a crossing altitude of 4;000 feet we were going to be a little high and requested relief. The controller was very helpful in giving us a vector off the arrival to get down. This was the captain's leg. The ATC controller mentioned that this arrival was not designed very well and other aircraft had problems making the bgstr fix altitude on the arrival. Automation was behind in slowing and descending the aircraft. Captain selected level change. Normal landing at nashville.suggest RNAV arrival design improvements where necessary.
