Huh? The 757 is one of the nicest planes to land. It has a huge wing with lots of lift, tail strikes aren't an issue (in the 200 at least), lots of crosswind capability, low approach speeds, and great brakes.
Performing a nice flare at 30 feet and 135 knots in the 757 is way easier than arresting the controlled crash of a 737-800 at 160 knots 10 feet above the ground while trying not to hit the tail and worrying about brake temperatures when deciding what turn off to aim for.

Did I say it was hard or did I say the 757 was easier?
I was replying to someone who thought the 757 was too hard for new hires. My point was if a new hire can land a 737, then there is no problem putting new hires in the 757.
