Well said JW11. Same for me 42 years.
I'm afraid pilots are no longer taught to fly the bl&@dy aeroplane onto the rwy. & keep controlling it till stop. My last few years watching co-pilots flare & wait letting the aeroplane wander off on it's own was entertaining to say the least. No wonder some teach Go-Around instead of fly the -- thing.
IMHO it is why so many are crashing. In this case it would appear no one even had their hands on the controls. Guess HR are employing customer relation people instead of pilots.
Rant over
