Got any reference to say this doesn’t apply at KSFO? Seems to be yet another example on what is an increasingly growing list of “efficiency” over following the rules as they’ve been notified.
SFO was VFR during the incident in question. If they went to IFR approaches they would need to divert and ground hold a significant amount of traffic.
