Narrative:

Captain busted altitude constraint on descent by about 1000 ft. I hinted several times (ie, cockpit resource management) that we were too high and needed to use spoilers but to no avail. Suggestion: try to convince pilots to plan to meet constraints prior to rather than exactly at point.
