No one that smacks their jet into the ramp or undershoot has any place flying the aircraft
With your obviously superior knowledge CM you might offer your services to the USN since ramp strikes feature heavily in their accident statistics. My personal experience is limited to the USS Lexington on an absolutely beautiful day, calm seas, in a T-28 for 7 arrests, 4 touch and goes, 1 bolter, not experienced, but an insight. Naval aviation is the only service I've heard of where the stress gets to folks where they voluntarily hand their wings in, USN study of Vietnam pilots found their stress levels were higher at the boat than when subject to AA and SAMs.
