As in an unstable approach?

Not unstable approach, but you can usually tell early if you'll make it or not.

Say you're at 3000 AGL. If you're out of shape in the MD, you're most likely going around. In the 757/767, you can meet the stabilized approach.

At the time this landing took place
 
The Japs I flew with could recite formulas for sink rates based on power settings which would net landings with "x" amount of G's. But if you throw them in a situation where the conditions are not what they are used to...well this is what happens. If the captain is senior to the chief pilot,dont expect much to come in the way of punishment. Just a trip back to the sim to practice x-wind landings.
 
Sorry...not judging these particular pilots...but I gotta know...is it four years from ZERO time. Sorry if that's the case it is NOT a lot of time to go from zero to the right seat of a heavy...I don't care how good the "training" is.

Huh? In the "good" days in the US, pilots were going from 0 time to regional turboprop captain in less than 4 yrs and then straight onto a legacy sometimes on the widebody.
