Not really! Airbus gives the pilot a choice of a stabilized or a decelerated approach. I always preferred the decelerated approach as it uses less fuel and is much easier on the passengers (less noise). Now it is quite obvious that some pilots don't have the necessary skills to do the decelerated approach. They feel intimidated by them and don't seem to possess the confidence to execute them. Than does not mean that they cannot be done by those who feel OK doing them. Remember that Airbus does give you the choice and some of us like doing them.
