Default How Difficult Is It Really To Land A 737-800?

I mean, really, how difficult is it? I have flown in just about every kind of passenger plane manufactured and been all over the world on both US and foreign airlines. I remember with great fondness a Cathay Pacific flight. After 15 hours, that 747 landed like a butterfly on a flower petal. And it was in the old Kai Tak even. The 737 I was on tonight landed with a thud and pitched everyone forward. I'm pretty sure the seat belt cut into the chub of that fat guy sitting next to me.

Rant over. I'm going back to my own bed tonight. Phew. 6 nights in a hotel is brutal. Sucks to get old.
