Proves my point, really. If he'd banged it on the numbers like he's supposed too, that wouldn't have happened. Also supports my other point about passenger perception; what would the passengers think if the pilot can't get it on the ground first time every time?
We just flew to a secret base in the Southern Sinai with Thomson and the Co (presumably ex-Navy) banged the 737 right on the numbers, no finess, no safety issues, no appologies. We all walked away from it. Perfect.
