Poor old Droopystop! Ask an innocent question eh? Sounds like Stornoway then, and possibly a late offer to the crew of an alternative runway for one reason or another. Loganair SOPs probably allow for a little more flexibility than jet airlines in the execution of a visual approach and what you describe sounds like it was within limits. What I will say is that there is constant training going on at the moment so minor misjudgements may happen, and it may be that to continue in that case is safer than going around with a new F/O in the RHS. All flights are data monitored by the way and if it was very iffy the crew may be spoken to quietly anyway. In answer to your last questions, no - no pressure to cut corners (apart from normal ops requests to get going NOW NOW NOW), and complaining would probably not serve much purpose for the above reasons.
Was it a nice landing by the way? If so it wasn't me .
