Most pilots I know typically duck the glideslope right near the end of this approach and come in on the slow side of Vref, just so they can make it. An Airbus should be able to make the taxiway, a CRJ 50 requires a lot more skill to put it on and stop it in order to exit Taxiway C than does an Airbus. Nonetheless, not surprising every now and then.
Yeah DUCK below the glideslope........that's a great idea - remind me which flights are on so my family will be pulled off. One of the most ignorant posts I have ever read.
