I listened to the first YT video from VASAviation and then the followup video that is very long with a lot of explanations.
I think Lufthansa was in the wrong here:
- they knew SFO does visual parallel landings, and ILS is provided if able and it does not interrupt the flow of planes
- pilots attitude was not very professional and they started on the wrong foot with "you told us 10 minutes that ended 4 minutes ago"
- then they told ATC they're gonna fuck up their sequence
- then they started complaining again that why is everyone sequenced before them even though ATC told them that they will be cleared once there's a hole in the arrivals sequence long enough to accommodate an ILS landing, and the new estimate was 15-20min more
It is a requirement for pilots to know how an airport operates and what to expect when they get there or depart.
I guess in the end Lufthansa needs to send pilots with better manners to SFO and put more fuel in their airplanes in case they need to wait for a gap in the arrival sequence to accommodate ILS.
