R5, I agree. The airlines have simplified things so anybody can do SOPs without screwing up. I left right before this happened but 10 years ago we knew what was safe and what wasn't. Now if you violate SOP's you get busted so decide if you want to go around and land min fuel or get busted doing what we did for decades. My retirement flight they wouldn't clear me for the approach because they were saturated so I did the illegal high dive to intercept the glide slope that can't be done now. If I had gone around as required now I would have conflicted with departing aircraft on a runway 90 degrees to us but would have had no choice.
