ALC and that Dodgy Short Cut !

Was behind a certain UK low-cost operator into ALC in the dark (and definitely not completely VMC) d'other night when he asked for that very dodgy short-cut onto a 10 mile final RWY 10 -- You boys are asking for trouble !!! Why do it !! Save 5 mins ??

SO much for being below MSA off a published procedure at night and no airfeild visual reference ie APP lights to make a visual approach !

Fair enough during the day but at night ????
