Faire d'income , at the end of the day it depends how you deal with ATC. Flying into MSY from the S always involves a steep descend, the biggest pain in the dear rectum is DCA without a doubt (esp. the Rosslyn LDA into 19). We are airline pilots and a certain performance/working environment is expected from us. YOU are the PIC and if you suspect a slam dunk appraoch/unsafe ATC instruction you can always refuse it.
This brings up another question: can ATC legally assign a descend that involves a ROD that is not considered part of a stabilized approach?
