But I submit to you that if you're making your career decisions based on KCM, your priorities are screwed up. That's just me, though.

Description of incident here. Synopsis: 767-300 carrying US Troops from overseas landed hard at PSM in calm, clear weather and creased the fuselage. Some say it just needs a BIG roll of speed tape.
Accident: Atlas B763 at Portsmouth on Jul 27th 2018, hard landing
One rumor was that the FO, on his IOE, performed the landing. Not sure that was ever confirmed.

That has happened several times before to 763’s. Later production tails had additional fuselage stringers added to prevent that exact problem. Here’s a good video showing what leads to the creasing.

If they had a long list, then KCM didn't make a difference one way or the other. It's not the thing that would have kept them at ABX, and it's not the thing that would have driven them away if everything else had been perfect. It's just another thing to complain about on the way out the door.
