willfly380, I may be wrong about this (and if so, whacks to the noggin accepted) but would you want to add to your list something related to the 180 @ 5 ATC call ...
"Didn't say no to the controller." One now and again has to do that.
As of the info currently available, one doesn't know what their approach planning process/brief was for the visual approach (IIRC, NOTAM for ILS was available) to the runway. With that in mind, you may be able to make the case for their desired/expected approach profile to get hurried or disrupted by accepting that ATC call, which was probalby aimed at a sequencing issue ATC was working (as they tend to do at busy airports ... ) That has the potential of putting a crew behind the aircraft, or in catch-up mode, in working to get the approach stable in time and on profile.
Granted, pilots deal with this near busy airports every day, because that is part of the business.
