With all due respect... Better to reinforce the good habit of landing where you are supposed to land, than risking creating a possible bad habit of landing beyond 900m. Just using my brain in a different way than you do.

I don't really see what's to gain in landing long intentionally and I see all kinds of potential risk in it. One day on the last sector of a max FDP day, you might forget that this airport is actually not a 4000m runway but 3000m or even less. And obviously that will also be the day that you are at max landing weight and upon touchdown reversers fail to deploy, spoilers have a day off and/or your brakes are having a ****ty day. Because Murphy.

You have XXX number of people in the back that are your responsibility, why degrade safety margins? Yes, 9 times out of 10 it will probably be fine, I'll just be landing with that tenth one in mind. Just two cents.
