Stating the obvious?

Aside from the unsupported decision to allow the FO to proceed with an unstabilized approach, the caption appeared to lack a clear overall SA of the approach and specifically lacked awareness of the energy state of her aircraft.

One wonders how many times the FO had landed at LGA. 4/22 particularly, alongside many airport runways with water lapping at the thresholds seems to be a human factors issue for many new to those approaches in my observations over the years (tendency to be above the GS) while an airfield ringed by a ridgeline tends to focus the attention rather smartly.
