It is indeed an unfortunate event for AK.However,the comment I read so far is even more heartening! So many people had their views on control column,side stick blah blah blah....What the hell?

Let me ask you, be it side stick or control column,how the hell you gauge the amount of input?Looking down at the side stick during landing flare? Or judging the space between the controls and your belly? What the hell? Every landing requires different amount of input base on prevailing environmental conditions and the a/c loading,trim setting,config...etc all come into play.So,what can you use to gauge to avoid a tail strike?

Go flip your training manual to find that tail strike pitch angle and memorised it by hard and never to exceed that!! Stop pointing the fingers at capt,fo or the management.Be a bloody professional pilot!!You guys make me sick!
