NTMU,
Nope, never even came close to dragging the tail in thirty+ years in heavy jets, and I personally know countless others in the same boat.
Nearly every tailstrike during takeoff or landing is the result of mis-handling the aircraft, or selecting the wrong Vspeeds for departure.
As all of the above referenced incidents are a result of poorly thought out pilot actions, I have no sympathy whatsoever for the difficulties they might now find themselves in.
In short, either fly the aeroplane correctly, or find another job.
It all boils down to...either you are a true professional, or you are not.
No middle ground in my book.
