Considering we don't know all the facts, it's tough to arm chair this one, but if all was operationally ok I can guarantee you the boys (or girls) were sitting up there saying this is bulls*it. We all know the airplane can stop on that runway even on some of the worst english winter weather days, but, as has been said already, would you risk your provident fund to land in that situation with our management?? They bred this culture so they can foot the bill...not us.
