where short approaches, fast approaches, sudden track shortening etc are the way of life
- I think Boeing take a more mature view to flying their aircraft in that all those 'events' are within your control as a pilot, so its entirely up to you whether you accept the events or decline the offer. I have never 'blamed' ATC for making my approach 'tight' (the co-pilot, and ATC 'trying to', yes). Whenever it has happened it has been because I 'allowed' it to happen - not Boeing.

"depressurization and engine failure" are not within your control as a pilot.

I cannot see why anyone needs to write a 'procedure' for it. Airmanship again?
