BA almost hits the wall!
......Tabasco
Corporate greed, leads to commercial pressure, which is one of the most prevalent killers of them all. Even more so for the inexperienced, outside the rigid structure of a major airline.

It is locator approach both side with minimum of 1600ft and around 5nm from threshold, so 3° flight path will get you there. R
is short but not really for a Emb 190 (I used to fly to much less, 1600m is not issue for the Emb 190)

Probably the PF was seeing 4 green lights on the papi, the red lights reflecting in the grass. There is absolutely no need to land at Skiathos without being on the papi. Anyway all flat approaches used more runway than the stable one. This particular chap should revise his short runway landing technique, it is appalling.

On another tangent I seem to remember when there was that very low 747 approach at St Maarten by KLM the PAPI's were said to be giving a lower than expected slope. How accurate are Greek PAPI's?

Question for any of you guys that have flown the JSI Route, I seem to recall someone once telling me only the Captain can land there,which I found odd. Is there any truth in that ?

The list of runways that are “ captain only “, is a company specific requirement. Places like Innsbruck, functual would for the Bill. Can’t remember if JSI was for us.

So no, it’s not somebody who’s used to flying ILS to ILS and can’t handle a NPA as somebody suggested earlier.
The upslope on the runway does give the impression of being high on 01, combined with the short runway can probably contribute to being low on final approach. I don’t think any pilot in 2019 is going to intentionally fly low into a place where they know their actions are being filmed and will be on social media before they’ve set the parking brake. If there was any form of “showboating” involved, it would almost certainly been driven by the desire to make the intersection turn-off, rather than to intentionally fly low on the approach.
Armchair pilots continue...
A quick look at instances of that flight from LCY landing at JSI on FR24 since the service resumed this summer would suggest that around half of arrivals (including the flight in question) make the A3 exit to the apron, with the other 50% or so rolling to the end to turn and backtrack.
With almost 50% of the airline’s entire movements landing at LCY, I am quite surprised this airline had one of its aircraft end up in this position. It is not as if they are lacking in experience of short-field ops!
