Well done FR crew - they must be trained properly whatever people say!
Hmmm, they landed on a wet runway at the exact time the METAR was giving an on-limits steady tailwind, with out of limit tailwind gusts. I'd hold the praise for the moment and just be glad that the expected smoking hole was once more narrowly avoided.
Of more concern would be the corporate culture that pushed 2 pilots into landing in the conditions they did, where the prudent course would appear to have been to hold off or divert. Ultimately safety starts at the top and in an organisation where the top has no interest in safety (it costs money), therein lies a problem.
