From my experience I would go along the line from PAXboy - don't ask me why but MOST pilots get their BETTER landings in BAD weather conditions rather than good.

Got to work harder, maybe?? Or pasengers expecting less and being more forgiving and therefore more likely to be "pleasantly surprised??" Dunno!

Also aircraft varients create their own difficulties - eg you show me any pilot who quotes he gets the same consistent quality landings in the 737-8 as he did in the Classics.... and I'll be able to point to a bald faced liar.

Most times - maybe. Good weeks/bad weeks - probably.
As consistent as the Classic - never!

Talking of pax perception only - previous comments about smooth Vs safe Vs ambient conditions spot on.
