Stabilized approach criteria

Hi all,

The past years there have been a lot of studies on non compliance with stabilized approach criteria, one of the most known ones is probably the 2017 'Go-Around Execution and Decision-Making Project Final Report' by the Flight Safety Foundation.
Now I wonder if there are any airlines that have actually adopted a new view to stabilized approach criteria in the past years? Not necessarily the ones propagated by the FSF but any new style, other then the current industry standard of 1000' IMC and 500' VMC.

Secondly, I remember reading an article about a US or Canadian carrier who adapted new SAC which are at least very similar to the ones of the FSF but I believe the article read that a go-around wasn't even mandatory until 100' (instead of 300' as by the FSF). Since having adopted those SAC that airline apparently had close to a 100% go-around rate out of unstable approaches. Of course, I've searched my ass off but have been unable to find the mentioned article. Anyone else who read it or actually knows the airline in question?

Cheers!
