RSB,
You telling me that you've never flown a tight approach on the last leg home or when running behind (like this crew was doing?). I agree that it's not normal to run 250 to the marker (I simply stated it could and has been done.)
It's not uncommon in the CRJ to run 180-200 on the downwind, 160 on the base and 140 on final. Nor is it uncommon to turn 2-3 mile final. I'm simply stating that 4 miles out isn't exactly a point where I would be too concerned with a crew "lining up on the wrong runway," particularly at an uncontrolled field when they have been cleared for the visual.
