Well we don't know why they weren't stabilised but given SFO ATC's penchant for keeping jets high that may be grossly unfair. I've very rarely been given a gentle feed in UNDER the glideslope. Its normally gear down and full flap attacking the glide from above. I've tried it without the ILS so PAPIs only would be a challenge. Not sure which RNAV approaches are in the FMC.

Also, from an earlier post it looked as if this flight was flown level at 11,000 feet which is more typical, in my experience, with a 28R approach. Did they get a late runway switch?
