I am equally fascinated by your remarks, do you guys only go to airports with ILS? In my world I have to go to all sorts of places with varying degrees of ground based equipment. I would never suggest that "diving down the runway" is a mark of competance but the ILS is there as guidance for reduced visual conditions and if you are in good conditions from 1,000' why would you not take advantage of the full runway length? Using remarks like diving, destabilsing and readjusting the aim point just cloud over the issue. To try and paint the picture of a cowboy approach to make your point is not a true account of what happens in reality. To aim for the numbers is no more trying than a circling approach, a lot easier in fact, I guess you do those? As for the Global incident, I am very familiar, there was more to it than trying to hit the numbers.
