some amusing stuff here
I had to take the 737 from my copilot after he had done a perfectly stable apch. He bounced and froze...did nothing to recover and I mean he BOUNCED!!!!!
I took it from him, added power, landed and then gave it back to him to handle the rollout.
speedbird I said: MAINLY...I am sure even Charles Lindbergh made a crappy landing, but in this LGA situation...the captain made a good landing...not a great one, but good as people walked away...a great landing is one in which you can use the plane again without major mx.
speedbird...hubris...interesting choice of words...but pal, listen...I didn't break the nosewheel off a 737 and close NY's airport.
IF the plane was not stable, they should have gone around
IF the captain decided to attempt to make good the apch and landing, she failed.
