The poor standard of ATC is worthy of mention too. Preventing a/c from crossing 23R when the next landing a/c is at 4 miles is downright negligent and unprofessional. Vectoring onto final approach is hardly any better. Hot and high is the rule
Fine, if you get a "shufty" on, and are already moving. What about a Heavy foreign airliner, who taxies at 3kts? Go arounds any one? I'll bet that you would be the first to complain if you were no1, and sent around due to the slow crosser [which you advocated]
Hot and high, ask for a longer final to be [more?] stable, or go around, and explain why.
