Narrative:

Sadde 4 arrival, 5 mi from runway 24R on right base leg heading 160 degrees with several 121 carriers given as traffic. Also given an air carrier widebody transport on final to runway 25L. He crossed at 12 O'clock, approximately same altitude. We were not cleared for approach or given an intercept heading for localizer 24R. Radio too congested to break in and advise ATC. We were finally given an intercept heading for 24R as we approached the 25L localizer, turning within 1-2 mi behind air carrier widebody transport on final to 25L.
