There's no way the Thomson pilot banged the 737 on the numbers. Not SOP (standard operating procedures) therefore not allowed. Sorry.

Sounds like denial to me. Just because the crew of TOM6XX had the skill to do it properly and others don't, doesn't mean you can have a go at them. Sour grapes, I think.

I do understand the money argument a bit, though. So are we saying that the airlines don't trust their pilots not to land in the undershoot? Still, I suppose landing can be pretty difficult so maybe we shouldn't expect everyone to do it.

Going back to the Boris Day movie mentioned earlier, it was a good job she was aiming for the beginning of the runway or her little bounce would have taken her right off the end.
