I guess that would happen if you fly into an uncontrolled airport, like SkyWest's flight to St. George, UT. However, I've never seen there Brasilia do anything but a straight in.
Usually Center/Approach takes care of lining up the big birds for a straight in landing. In LAX, you can see the line of airplanes for over 50 miles away. At night, it looks like all the planets are lit up and aligned.
