IMC in 44B

It is true that Pax tend to judge pilots abilities by the smoothness of the landings, which is not a reflection of the pilots overall skills.
So I had to maintain perspective when my seat at the very back of cattle class went full IMC for a second or 2 as the main gear smoke billowed up past the cabin windows during a Qantas thumper into Sydney!
Yes, I have to agree, the SAA guys seem to grease the 74 in every time. Putting yourselves on a pedestal...
