Fair point NC, and absolutely correct. I was called a poof many times by some old school pilots in the earlier days of my 'career' in CX for the grossly conservative visual approaches to said airport. Winding the thrust up at 1000' was a complete waste of fuel - I see the error of my ways now!
Trouble is, I now get nervous if the FO hasn't achieved landing config by 2000' and hasn't got the thrust up by 1500'. Maybe I'm just getting old!
