Unfortunately just being a pilot at a Major does not automatically endow us with good SA when we become used to doing things the same 99 percent of the time.
If a pilot at ANY airline that carries passengers can't acknowledge that the technique used on a 10,000 foot runway may be different from that used on a 6,000 runway, he doesn't deserve to be in a control seat. Just my opinion, and this isn't aimed at you.
