I did say it was not right. Before going to FLL or MCO we probably had enough time to land west with a storm approaching from the west. It eliminated going through an approach that would have put us at much more risk than landing on 13,000 ft runway with a 13,000 ft rwy we did on the previous leg with 8,000 ft. Thought sticking my neck out a tiny bit was worth it that day. Noticed the guys with the same restriction behind me landed too, knowing the alternative. I made the second turnoff to demonstrate it was not risky with 7,000 ft remaining just in case it would help at the hearing.
