As others have mentioned, we 'young guns' enjoy a greaser up the front as much as you do down the back. Sometimes it just isn't possible - if it's a windy day and the aircraft you are sitting in is approaching a short lumpy runway (Leeds and Bristol spring to mind
) then don't expect one. Other times of course we get caught out, I'll admit to that - as the Wing Commander points out the NG is a twitchy bugger near the ground. Airbus pilots, so I am told, have no such excuse
