Ryanair firm landings

Not just Ryanair (although I tend to think you can't have a greaser if you ain't paid for it...).

I travel several times a year to & around Australia from UK & I have yet to experience anything other than a teeth-rattling landing on Quantas. I've come to the conclusion that the Aussie flight crews work on the principle that "we've paid good money for the gear so we're going to bloody well use it!"

Either that or they simply lose interest in the approach at 50 feet or so.
