I've done this in a Simulator several times with both the A320 and A330.
The answer is, YES, you can - at least in the SIM you can.
That said, it would be a bad idea to do it in reality unless absolutely necessary (meaning, if a Go-Around is NOT an option [Dual Engine Failure, etc]).
The tail is really not stressed for it, therefore, damage is likely to occur. I recall something about an AA Airbus with the tail breaking off near JFK
However, if - in the case of the Air Canada flight - the Captain had not done so, the outcome of that flight would have been most decidedly different. Remembering of course, that the Captain of that flight was also an accomplished Glider Instructor, who was intimately familiar using the "Slip" maneuver.
