Narrative:
Approach turned us on too close to preceeding airplane. I was worried that there wasn't sufficient spacing for them to clear before we landed. Then we switched over to tower and they put an airbus into position. At this point I was planning a go around. Then a corporate airplane crossed downfield delaying the airbus departure. We went around and landed normally.
