I dont usually stress on the pitch. I land flaps 15 nearly everytime and typically end up around 5-6 degrees pitch and dont even think the tail is close. I have watched them land a few hundred times while holding short and in various configurations I have not seen the tail even come within 3 feet of hitting yet. Flaps 35 is a real joy to hold the pitch trim down for ten seconds and then have the whole airplane and yoke shake. Ill skip 35 flaps for now.

As for landing soft, it can be the softest landing airplane in the skies and I do it about once every other 4 day but it is a complete combination of luck and timing.
