This is THE question begging an answer. Unless the airplane is on fire or a glider, one wonders why either pilot would attempt to salvage an unstabilized approach at 400'.

Carefully read the NTSB summary. The approach was stabilized at 400'.

It became unstabilized somewhere at 200-400'. The approach was stabilized before the exchange of controls. It was not afterwards.

It will be interesting to see what the personality dynamic was. Sounds like a mid range senior captain. The FO looks like a reserve guy, maybe former airtran, based on the amount of hours he's flown, and time of hire. I wonder what her bid-avoidance list looked like.
