Which makes me wonder just how safe it is for 'average' pilots to hop straight from a 320 to a 319 and then a 321.
Conditions for the last impact with tarmac which a LH 321 pilot subjected me to were hardly demanding, good vis, 6 knots down the runway and no cross-wind.....
Won't be able to check it out on my next trip away - all my LH flights will be in 737s, unfortunately.

Guess thats more a mental problem. You simply believe that it can't go wrong in that good conditions...and WHAM, gravitation strikes back.
Honestly, its happend to me as well. Gusty SW wind on 27R at LHR; a barely noticable smooth touchdown.
A day later at my home base in central Europe, clear skies and absolutely no wind; resulted in a flight/landing-check of the MLG struts....
