I find fault with statement
So VAPILOT2004, why did you find fault with my statement? Most of my fellow colleagues don't think it acceptable to chew up of 4,000 feet of runway? How about you?

Again, maybe its just me and the majority of the pilot world, but the touchdown zone is where you are supposed to land the jet, and not the departure end of the runway.

Also, during training with every airline, and documentation contained with FCOMs, if in the opinion of the crew the landing will not end in a satisfactory manner; ie... staying within the borders of the runway, then a go around shall be executed.
