Sure. But I don't care any more. I brief the FO's to fly it like it's their aircraft. If I have a question or suggestion I'll speak up.
I used to care when I flew SNB. I think the SNB lends itself well to doing slam dunks and short approaches.
If someone wants a 30 degree hack at it so be it.
I typically fly to S. America. No way am I accepting a visual approach down there. I don't want to be responsible for accepting my own traffic separation. I'll let ATC earn their peso's, or whatever.
