OK I was expecting that. Thanks everyone else for taking my post for what it was - an honest observation.

I won't be complaining since the last thing I want to do is to dump the commander and the co pilot in it.

As it happens, I am a professional pilot who is familiar with the approaches and airport in question. I know what the altimeter and DME should read at the land marks we were passing and what it should look like. I also happen to know what a wind sock is for, how it works and how to use it.

I think the approach was gash and was leaving the airline open to complaints from passengers. I won't be complaining, but that doesn't mean someone else will not. Who knows, Mr CAA might have been on board.

PS I wouldn't have batted an eyelid if it was R33 (IIRC) at EGPB
