Keep on plugging away at what ever Regional you work at, it fits your attitude. Corporate or Fractional is not in your future unless you change your outlook on little things like this.

You wouldn't see anyone at NJ or the like treat their pax that way. Sack up or let someone else deal with them. In the end, it was your touchdown that garnered the negative attention from the passenger in the first place. Nobody's perfect, especially me, but I would never get smart with a paying passenger. Just let someone else deal with them, they are probably scared to fly, self absorbed chumps who think that the plane is so automated it could land itself so why even bother with them. Give them a smile, it actually tees them off more to not get a reaction from you.

Peace Brothers. :)

The businesses that do the best put their employees first and their customers second or third. Trust me, there is a good reason why companies like this do so well, maybe you did not read the article that night put up.

My stock response is, "That'll teach 'em!"

"firmly planting it on the ground and testing the anti-skid."

Sounds like the landing I had the other day in ONT. Great flight and good landing, but at the very end you felt that ATC asked the guy if he could make the next taxiway and he STOOD on the brakes and we all tested the seat belts. Got a few murmurs out of the pax, but all these airline landings are much better than what I normally endure so I'm not one to complain!

My first few landings during IOE were transparent to me until my LCP got on the PA and welcomed everyone aboard the USS LaGuardia. Things got randomly better, but here's my thought: a good hard landing makes the folks appreciate the fact that they got their money's worth by arriving safely. For those of you that grease them on every time, thanks alot...people think that it is easy and safe enough to pay less money for the ticket. Make them appreciate the fact that they only paid for one of the two landings that we made!

I'm sure it's all because of things like exaggerated stories about crappy landings, written on an internet message board. :rolleyes:

The worst ones are the ones that are firm but don't seem that bad only to have comments from pax as the exit out about how the airplane needs better shock absorbers.

My landings are always smooooth....Yeah Right! Haha

was in an attempt to make taxiway charlie landing on 20 in RIC a few weeks back...made the taxiway without incident, but the landing most likely dented the pavement....no matter, i showed richmond.

Still on IOE for the A320...and my landings are like the military beacons....1 good 2 to forget.... still trying to flare at 50 and keep the centerline..:D
