No one said what the nationality of the captain was. What the post implied was there are 2 different standards for pilots based on local or expat. As someone who has been there and knows people affected by that type of thinking I have to agree. There are 2 different standards.
Also, for those who will not fly a visual approach, don't ever try to get into DCA landing south expecting an instrument approach if its better than 3000 and 5. You'll either land on the wrong runway or fly into a prohibited area.
LAX I can sympathize with but you always have the option to extend downwind. You'll just get passed by me and all the SWA guys doing 210 to JETSA. In fact I would rather you do the full ILS. I've seen more than one Pacific Rim Carrier blow through the 24R localizer and wander over to the south complex when they failed to make a turn on a 10 mile final.
