All of the above. In particular the non-sterile cockpit, the attitude, and first landing at Paro with the hired familiar pilot in the jump seat.
I also noted that they seem to be "Children of the Magenta" in essence flying the aircraft with the heading and vertical speed knobs on the FCU panel, rather than hand flying the approach.
See also below video for one more version, and comments from a pilot, that while he have not flown to Paro have flown with Indonesian pilots (which never was any problems). Also, there are a couple really hard landings toward the end, filmed from the ground in other cases where other pilots lined up very late (hard enough to collapse the main landing gears).
