When I said I was a passenger on that flight, I was actually positioning along with my crew.
This was subject to an investigation by my airline, and therefore I cannot identify the airline involved. (subject of course to the risk of my termination)
Fair enough...IF it actually did happen.

Pls explain how you comply with the Flight Safety Foundation Stabilised Approach criteria when you do a circling approach to minima.
We don't look to the Flight Safety Foundation for our criteria, we look to the aircraft manufacturer, and our past experience.
This is...stabilized, on speed, by 500aal...this is possible because we are circling at 600aal (or charted higher minimum, whichever is more) in our heavy wide body jet transport airplane, whilst circling, in conformity with laid down regulations.
It the circling maneuver somehow difficult for some?
Of course, it is...unless trained for, properly.
Rocket science it ain't.
