If the crew are properly trained and operate the aircraft IAW with the FCTM techniques then JSI is perfectly acceptable as a destination. The problem you have here are people that have either wilfully stepped outside their SOP's or are completely incapable of flying a straight in visual approach during daylight. You choose.
Sadly, boring Youtube videos of properly executed approaches don't attract clicks. Idiots showboating 6 feet above the Armco do. It amazes me that people here are willing to defend these types of antics. It only happens at JSI and not other short runways. Ask yourself why.
