This was probably KAL. A friend got hauled up because he took over from the local F/O who flared high, touched down at 2300 ft down a 13123 ft long runway at Vref-12 kts. Why, because he did not land before the 2000ft mark and he touched down below Vref-10! There was some windshift down at the touchdown zone...they didn't want to know or even care. Why dob him for landing at 2300 ft when it was within the 3000ft zone? Their answer, there was a " worrying uptrend of people landing beyond 2000 ft of late "!

After much arguments and several trips to the " OC ", he was off the hook. But they flagged him, got the checkers ( LCPs ) to breathe down on him on his line checks and even badmouthed him to the Boeing Sim guys!

Still wanna work for those nit-wits??? Life style commuting contracts? Give me a break. When things go bad, they can really go very bad over there.
