maybe pilots in general are not as good as they once were. that they have become so dependent upon automation that the idea of landing within 200 feet of your touchdown spot has gone out the window.

there are plenty of short runway, or table top airports that I have operated into and I never took such things for granted. Flying is serious business and safety margins must be increased by all methods including pilot excellence.

I think we should be comparing and contrasting the recent american overshoot in the carribean islands (forgot where), southwest overshoot at chicago midway, and others.
