Fair enough. And if I worked for said airline I wouldn't be orbiting on final. But until this airline bans them I will keep doing them if I think it's safe and useful. I'm not institutionalised and I'm certainly no cowboy either but my airlines way of doing things is the only way I can do them.

If an orbit in visual conditions almost resulted in a large smoking hole and lots of coffins then I would, without knowledge of the incident, suggest a certain lack of situational awareness and skill!

Make of that what you will.
