Why can't tower handle runway changes? The approach controllers tell us that they aren't allowed to request RWY changes to tower??? the amount of times we're on final for 07L or 25R and can clearly see no one is near lining up when we would have landed on the other runway is a joke, it obviously benefits the freighters but also pax A/C parking on the south side. Is this a "cannot" outside the box scenario?
Can we request a sidestep on twr if you won't let approach do it for us?
