Hopefully TUI management will be sympathetic to the crew after a bad day in the office.
Hear , hear to that !
I took 73s and 75s into. LBA on several occasions., and treated it with the greatest respect even on CAVOK days. Certainly a very challenging landing in strong, gusting crosswind, pouring rain and wet runway. I remember the TriStar runway departure too well !
And that sloping horizon can be very misleading.
