And that is why a decision was taken to not allow "new recruits" to fly the BA A321s. The tailstrike at Glasgow last summer proved to be somewhat expensive.

Start off on less vulnerable airbus'. This is not a new consideration. When GBair were consumed by EZY, the issue of potential A321(ex GB fleet) tailstrikes was very much a live issue. Always easy to be wise after the event, but not always possible to prevent, even when THREAT & ERROR management is fully applied to all activities.
