I appreciate this is a little off the topic, but you do realise that 1500 feet isn't a limit for anything in non-LVO conditions now don't you?

Almost ended up going around before because the captain thought we had to be fully configured at 1500'..it changed to a recommendation 2 years ago and it breaks my heart to still see ASRs about it, along with landing towards the end of the touchdown zone, being overfuelled by 400kg in a 380 from Australia and one I remember from a few months back about having rest interrupted by...a personal phone call!

Just a pet bugbear...
