I remember smashing a 757 into rwy28 about three years ago. Scared the sh1t out of me, and knocked my confidence big time. I had more than the 150 discussed hours here though.... and I didn't hit the tail.

Quite frankly, it could happen to anybody... senior Captain just as easily as a junior FO, with exception that a senior Captain may notice the symptoms earlier than a junior FO. That is probably because he smashed one in somewhere when he was a junior FO.

The poor bloke who had this event happen probably doesn't want to read all of us pontificating about this and that.

GOOD LUCK. Monarch are a good company. You have little to be concerned about I would suggest.
