Narrative:

Altitude bust at brand intersection on korry 1 arrival to nyc lga. It is virtually impossible to be at holey intersection at 13000 ft hard altitude and then get to hard altitude brand intersection 6 mi away and slow down at the same time to 11000 ft. Get rid of the 13000 ft and 11000 ft restrs. The A321 will not make the restrs unless intervention, autoplt off, and massive pushover. This arrival needs immediate revision.
