Alpagueur320 - have you any idea how difficult it is to slow a 320 series with a 30kt tailwind??

Just look at what you are trying to defend. Lets take your case- 180kts KIAS at 3.8 miles, if so one would hope CONF 2 (if not, CONF 1 - not 1+F but just CONF 1 first stage slats only!) You think that at 1000ft agl it is what a professional pilot (s) should strive for? Remember we are looking at a snapshot here, the crew saw this coming from miles away but didnt have the balls or the common sense to step in and sort it out. The Spanish macho I cant lose face side?

I hope I dont find myself on one of your flights if you think it acceptable to fly an approach in such a reckless manner in the hope that the wind changes and all will be well!
