Just got back from a week skiing in Alpe D'Huez, a trip top and tailed by RyanAir 737-800 flights between Stansted and Grenoble. The outbound flight (Captain Somebody Sherlock-double barrelled) and the return flight (captain Mick somebody) were notable for their rather firm (to be polite) landings. Having now stemmed the bleeding where my teeth smacked in to my tongue and recovered enough from the whiplash to be able to type (
) I was just wondering if this "technique" is part of the 737-800 experience, whether they were both just unlucky with the wind (phnarr), whether RyanAir doing some suspension testing for Boeing, or there is some other genuine reason why both landings were like that or were we just unlucky?
