Another aspect of this wiffodill is that I bet it wasn't done using the FMS. CFITs have reduced markedly because of GPWS and database approaches. In this case, where the crew or ATC has already ballsed-up the arrival, they are setting themselves up for an even bigger ballsup doing orbits to get down to the glideslope. And no, gittyiigtitiy, I don't have magenta skin and I'm quite happy to fly around in HDG and VS; just not in this scenario.
