I am no fan of RYR as they now manopolise routes between my base and my former home (where my relatives still live) - no ID tickets and often expensive.

However

I have to support their crews and training programmes. There is a counter argument that RYR pilots are safer due to the large number of flights they do .... i.e. they get lots of practice.

Those beautiful landings you speak of could actually be very dangerous on a wet runway. Notwithstanding, Boeing themselves instruct you to land the damn thing firmly. You can play around on Flight Sim all you like, trying to get a greaser, but try that in the real thing and you are just inviting trouble.
