Most likely some ,if not all, of the LH crew had flown the very same Visuals during the daytime (when they normally arrive when on schedule) and were in no way surprised they were in use. They were handcuffed by their SOPs. Bummer.
Yes that is what my (FRA) LH contacts on the 747s are saying too... and when they exceptionally came at night it has never been an issue before to get an ILS. I suppose the same is valid on the 350s fleet out of MUC. Looks like a combination of wrong timing ,plus fatigue and a bit of wrong egos on both sides of the mike..
