An airplane is an airplane regardless of how “challenging” the extra crap that goes with the international training may be. We’ve had new hires in the 756 fleet for how long and how often are we having issues with them destroying airplanes on landing? Like others have said, it’s such a pleasure of an airplane to fly and landings are usually very predictable.

I remember transitioning from a smaller narrow body Boeing, the sight picture, from short final to touchdown, was a wee bit different. But you’re correct... a wonderful airplane to fly in every regime. Stable to hand fly in turbulence and probably one of the easiest aircraft to land in all weather conditions, calm or blustery, once you get that sight picture down. Like with any wide body, after touchdown, one has to “fly” the nose wheel to the runway to avoid the “slam down” resulting in possible damage to the schrader valve. |

Yes, one of the Southwest 757's cleverly disguised in United Livery. Cheeky bastards.

Huh? The 757 is one of the nicest planes to land...

Until the nose wants to drop and bang onto the runway.
