There are other things we could be occupying our time with. No-one trains for this on heavy jets as it is 'negative training' and is not mandated by the authorities.

If the same situation re-occurred then I doubt that any other twin jet pilot would immediately disconnect the a/p and bunt for the undershoot.

I could imagine that a single-engine jet pilot would view things differently, but it isn't relevant here as this was a very big twin.
