These events have been going on for years. They talked about this in the captain leadership class they ran some years back. The common theme was climbing in VS mode and nose deep in the USA Today or level off at cruise, pull the power back too far and then break out the USA today while speed slowly decays.

Also, in some tech briefs slow speed events was a topic of discussion because they were still being picked up in FOQA.

When I went through recurrent (last year) I was told it was about 3 events per month. I don't have any details about specific events other than common causes were climb in VS mode or power reduction after level off at cruise.

Flagship here. If only I can provide a link to the simulation they show us as a lesson of what one of our crews did with regard to unstable approaches. Yes, it's true, ALL airlines have these crackpots.
