This is where we will get into trouble. This is where you depart your realm of responsibility. Let me be clear: You don't know what you're talking about.

Calling the flight deck under sterile conditions is a clear violation of FARs (exception emergency), but a violation in my opinion it is not whilst landing with rouge passenger who unlawfully left his or her seat.

You don't know the specific conditions the aircraft is operating in. You don't know how busy or hazardous it is. You don't know how incredibly challenging the approach is, or how life sucks for us right now just keeping speed or avoiding traffic or trying to slow or configure or listen or respond or just stay in control.

Yes, I've seen it. ATC of late has know idea about the laws of physics lately or that airplanes need distance and time to descend and slow.

But then again, we may be on approach to Slowtown, USA where there are no challenges.

But how would you know? You DON'T. You would just be happy to ring the phone regardleless of the phase of flight, chewing your nails on what the FAA might think and cover your A$$.

I say the He// with that. Don't bother us and YOU deal with it. That's what you've been trained for. And don't worry about covering your A$$ you've done nothing wrong either. But we ain't on a taxiway, and we ain't at the gate. We are on approach. It's different now.

And no, as far as I'm concerned its not an emergency. No more than a pax getting up during moderate turbulence in flight with the seatbelt sign on. Write it up after the fact. Inform not enforce. But don't call me on short final unless we're on fire.
