Point I'm getting at dude, is that people can live in glass houses if they choose. They can poke holes at other airlines screwups if they want.
NO AIRLINE is immune...........

I still strongly disagree with WN's practice, as does virtually every other airline in the world.

By all means, keep living in denial!
I've got plenty of time in the 737 to know that via the video when the thrust is pulled back to idle at flaps 40 that the thing was going to come out of the sky. You should have enough pitch/power awareness as well.

That is the real tragedy.

Stabilized approach criteria were actually met at the time the FOM requires them: 1000 feet above TDZE, aircraft on glide slope and speed, fully configured.
Why the Captain made the decision to take control of the aircraft and subsequently violate stabilized approach criteria is anyone's guess except yours, you obviosly have it all figured out long before the NTSB.
