They probably slammed the power back to idle on short final too. And why not? That's probably how both pilots were landing their light GA aircraft 6 months ago.
Clear Prop!!

The CA is a very senior, experienced aviator, the FO is only slightly jr to me. This is not a case of inexperience. I hate to see this happen, and this picture will haunt Mesa PR for eternity. On the bright side, it's only two scratches on the wingtip.

It is extremely bad karma and extremely unprofessional to pass judgment on fellow pilots, especially when no one even knows what happened yet.
