It wasn't that, I'm sure, since they didn't make proper S-turns. It
seems to me that they failed to turn onto the extended runway and then
had to make rather hectic corrections. A pilot who was flying with us
thought the same.
You could tell the crew wasn't the most experienced in the world from
the amateurish announcements of the captain, BTW.
