yeah man buddy.
Don’t salvage a bounce. Go. Just like they did. After the energy is gone, the nose is coming down. All by itself. You’re along for the ride

Meh, bush league.

Imagine watching the surgeon removing/amputating the WRONG appendange/organ?

Not sure what you're trying to say, but ok.

I really doubt the commentator in that video was a pilot.

Who knows.

But the satire is very good in the golf commentator arena of things.

"They," in the purely trumpian sense. I don't mean that in a good way.
We can't on one hand rail against the likes of Juan Browne's YouTube nonsense while at the same time make comments about an event based on nothing but somebody filming planes from the airport fence.

My guess is, if both of us knew each other's peers, they would say we believe we are right even when we are wrong. They misread us, or at least me. I know how often I'm wrong. I'm wrong a lot. It's just that I also appreciate how often our peers and superiors are wrong as well. They get it wrong just as often.

Folks, we are all likely wrong here. We don't have enough information to derive anything useful. But we CAN make a practical impact. We can let that training department, that OE student and that ERB do their work.

I believe, IMO, that tthe LTC took appropriate actions I/A/W the 757 FCTM

Bounced Landing Recovery

If the airplane should bounce, hold or re-establish a normal landing attitude and add thrust as necessary to control the rate of descent. Thrust need not be added for a shallow bounce or skip. When a high, hard bounce occurs, initiate a go-around. Apply go-around thrust and use normal go-around procedures. Do not retract the landing gear until a positive rate of climb is established because a second touchdown may occur during the go-around.

If higher than idle thrust is maintained through initial touchdown, the automatic speedbrake deployment may be disabled even when the speedbrakes are armed. This can result in a bounced landing.
.

At the end of the day, a good landing is one where one can walk away from. An excellent landing is one where the next crew can fly the same airframe one our after it's good landing.

You don't have to be a pilot to be 'qualified' to watch that and go "WTH!?!?" Watch a couple landings before, and a couple landings after, all in 12-14 kts winds in the face, and even an amateur would realize this one wasn't well done. They might not know why it went poorly (check out the elevator movements...unloading/nose down is inolvoed in every one of these nose gear smashes) but the realize it's an outlier.

so he made a mistake.. we’ve all done things we wish we could go back in time and undo.. the key is hopefully he doesn’t make it again.

Ever been in a car wreck? Accidentally break a glass? Trip & fall on your ass? We all have our hamfisted moments in life. Maybe this guy truly has no business in an airplane or maybe he just had a bad day. Hell, who knows, maybe he had a sneezing fit in the flare. All we can surmise from that clip is that it was mildly entertaining to watch (in a watching people take shots to the groin kinda way), and that the 74 is a pretty tough airplane. No need to drag someone you don’t know’s entire career through the mud over it.
