Just wondering whether you accept a real visual or continue with the arrival-approach, if any. If the visual to Rwy 25R at ANC was in use, there would be no arrival, approach or FAF. The company decision just seems like an illogical restriction for a professional flight crew, but then it is 2014.

Landing on the wrong runway might have been more easily accomplished in the 70's, but with today's technology it becomes a bit more baffling when it occurs. I always marvel at the "fix" decided upon by those in government and management to resolve an issue which was never a majority issue.
