Glideslope capture from above

I am on a fleet which has just changed its policy on what alt we set in the fcu (alt selector) whilst intercepting the g/s from above. We have gone from 1000` aal to above current a/c alt. Seems to me that this has nasty implications if the g/s is not armed first, ie, missed out because of high workload etc....

Yes, in an ideal world we would always intercept from on or underneath!

Would like to hear any other views and sops.
