Please forgive me.
Tank, that is totally different to being given a landing clearance with multiple ahead. Obviously you weren't going to line up before the Brit. Did Honolulu tell you what aircraft to land after?
One last question to put my mind at rest. ICAO procedures allow giving an aircraft a clearance to land with the preceding aircraft still not landed or clear (2400m rule excepted). Yes or No?
Short answer: yes.
Fujii, I agree with you re absolute safety, however the stats may or may not agree.
