Flaps 3
Guess when we land F 3 its easy to hit the tail with A330-300 or A321 so you have less pitch tolerance to pull during landing .
If you land with full flaps there is almost no chance to hit the tail and people are able to pull it in case of sink during ldg.
If i have choice between hard landing and tail strike i prefere hard landing. Its only warning letter or demotion but tail strike is TERMINATION with a confirm seat ticket .
