Hello Vilas,
I totally agree with you. I'm only flying on the left less than 4 months since training is completed and so far, I never had that situation yet nor a situation that I felt like I had to take control. But I definitely have what you say in mind. I can only fly with senior Fos for the first year. Make life easier for sure. Not meaning bad landing can't happen of course, it does happen to all of us. We fly A319, A320 and mostly A321 and from my little experience so far I only had one "hard landing" of 1.78g on an old A 321. The guy did not flare enough. Still a safe landing tho.
