So considering Continental uses autobrakes, autothrottles, and these conditions were bordering on CATII, does this also mean their company breeds a culture of "we're in a frickin' hurry?" Or is it possible that sometimes we as pilots get caught up in situations where in hindsight a better course of action could result?
