Kingpilot, the short answer is you cannot, just as you cannot have that stabilized approach from a circling approach at 600'agl.
However, the FAA still requires these maneuvers for the type rating and, IMHO, for very good reason. It shows the skills the Commander needs for the position, nothing more or less.
Of course, individual airlines certainly have the option of limiting the scope of normal line operations if they so desire, and many do.
