Not in VFR conditions. Believe me, a pilot wouldn't sit there and just allow the plane to oscillate across the glideslope in the clouds.

Plus, we are all fully capable of landing the plane by hand. :)

It it much more likely that the pilot or even the copilot( :eek: ;) ) was just hand flying the plane.

Agree.

One of the things I enjoy doing on turbulent landings (or any landing, actually) when I'm in the correct window seat for the base leg is to watch the VASI indicators. I've never seen a pilot get below "red-over-white"

Wouldn't you be watching the VASI for the parallel runway? If so, I doubt you'd ever see a red over white unless you were sitting in the cockpit.

No, landed last week at my home runway (no parallel one), and watched the VASI for from the time we hit base until the almost completed turn to final when of course I couldn't see it any more.
