411a,
Those incidents were arguably caused by mismanagement issues. Still good examples of very good handling skills. There is no reason why people should not practice those skills regularly. I fear the common reason is a lack of confidence in the LHS, which restricts not just themselves but the development of the f/o as well.
Back to the thread topic, turning final at 100 ft in a passenger jet airliner is not on. I have seen 3 unstable incidents this year from the same national carrier. There was no skill involved in these approaches which is backed up by the large control inputs near to the ground.
