I don't think suggesting you add power after a bounce to reduce the sink rate is wise. Adding power to salvage a bad landing will only increase the landing distance and could set you up for another surprise when your thought process is already fuctup following the bounce.
Who taught you that?
Try reviewing the DC-10 overrun in KBOS in the 70s. We learned long ago, Go Around! Simpler, safer and one of the most practiced maneuvers in our pilot careers second only to the senseless V1 cut.
If you fly it, you already know the MD-11 has some nasty, nasty CofG landing habits.
