You have to put up with slam dunks in ORD because you do. Thats all.
For a lot of us this is it in a nutshell.

For non-aviators a slam dunk approach is akin to having to pass through your gates at 80kph while safely stopping in your 10 metre driveway....with a load of passengers....in a double-decker bus.

Before someone takes the easy US bashing stick to me I would like to point out that ORD and BOS are the only two airports I would highlight. Everywhere else I've been has been at least good ( even JFK despite the lunacy of Canarsie ). I might add the poor guy on KEWR area ( NY west? ) deserves a medal for all the traffic on that frequency.

I would plead with our North American cousins that instead of the blame the idiot foreigner attitude you should stand up to poor practises if you see them on behalf of your industry and your passengers.
