It was strange to me too since I have over 10,000 hours in Boeing products and had never seen anything like it in flying them for 15 years. Actually, it was my FO that was flying, and the whole thing took probably two seconds..........neither one of us saw it coming, and there's not much you can do to "save the day" either. We had 7 or so in a two week timeframe. (Ours didn't compress the tail strut either, so it wasn't considered a "major" strike). You can't tell me that "all of a sudden" our pilots don't know how to fly a B-737. (BTW, their WERE bulletins out on it). I've learned to just come in a couple of knots faster and make the landings flatter. Apparently just TWO knots (according to our training department) slow at touchdown is enough to cause the nose to float up due to the exceptionally high deployment of the speedbrakes. Be careful out there!
