My apologies.
I momentarily forget you were the internet expert on EVERYTHING. I shall now bow down before you. Please present the ring, so that I may kiss it.
I now realize you have the authority and the ability to speak what's like to fly a lightly loaded and/or fueled, aft-CG heavy airplane with extremely light controls.
How silly of me.

Exploring the world one toilet at a time.
We all know your resume, you also have zero experience as an instructor. Probably a good idea to sit back and led those with familiarity in this sort of field do their thing.

I don’t have to be an instructor to know that takeoffs and basic aircraft control are the fundamentals of this job. It’s one thing if someone is failing V1 cuts or S/E Go Arounds. That’s stuff we don’t do much at all and are sim checked events. But a takeoff and aircraft control are basically every flight. I’m shocked at the excuses pilots make for other pilots incomptence. It’s why the Colgan and Atlas crashes happened. Enough people made excuses for those guys and allowed them to be in the position they were in. No one told them, hey man, you’re done. And of course after reading the final report, zero commentary on the lawsuit - which is the main reason people are too scared to tell someone, hey man, you’re done. Frankly, I think we ought to strive to take action BEFORE an airplane gets bent. But y’all do you.

People have been flying light and heavily laden 767s for decades without damaging the front nose gear and wrinkling the fuselage.
And I know you’re not serious to debate, but it’s a topic worth mentioning: how many pilots actually PUSH the friggin yoke down after touchdown to force the nose wheel down. It becomes part of their habit. One, it leads to a firm touchdown of the nose wheel which isn’t mean for taking hard slams. And two, it makes the pilot believe the act of flying ends when I force this nose down to the runway, and nothing could be further from the truth.

Conversely, they also have been crunching the front nose gear and wrinkling the fuselage for decades, too.
That said, I have no doubt this guy sucks at flying and that was at least 51% of what happened.

I always thought the 75 was harder to land than the 76. 76 reverse gear tilt could make it hard to grease the mains on, but the nose wheel touchdown on the 75 was tricky. Just a little give on back pressure and BOOM goes the nose wheel.
The 73 is wayyy easier to land than both the 75/76 imho. I still swing and miss at times, but it’s usually due to not having a rad alt countdown and trying to find the runway at night
If you’re plus 5 to minus 5 in any transport jet, to me that screams pilot induced oscillation and just not understand how to fly the plane on approach and touch down. But I’m no Bob Hoover

Neither am I, but I’ve also never done that.

If you're in the right seat of the Guppy, may i suggest trying to include the RA in your scan once you flare and have one mississippi to look down. I did this in the Bus and it worked out well. Now in the left seat the HUD is kinda a cheat code to know if it's in the sweet spot or gonna need chiropractic zone.
And continues to dodge the question about why I banned Chris Ford. Ha!
Additionally, he’s never had to evaluate, authoritatively, another pilots performance.
I think the kink is getting bapped around the forum like a cat does a fuzzy ball.

$10 says he's into getting dominated.
Oh, bro, for sure.
I’m sure there’s a little “Yes/No My Queen” followed by a sharp snap of a leather whip and a muffled grunt somewhere in that dudes recent history.
Not judging but it would make a lot more sense if he’s just talk about it.

I’ve just been waiting until the captain squirms in my peripheral, that seems to be about the right time
A lot of people here will call out the RA below 10ft as the PM. It's a technique I saw a lot of old school Captains do, and liked it, so I keep doing it. Over half of the FOs will do it to unprompted, a few will ask in the briefing for "callouts below 10" when they're PF.
You know it's going to be a good one when you hear them callout "Zero".

As opposed to: 642*SLAM*

I’m basically doing what you do. I’ve asked you questions in past, and you didn’t answer and instead wrote something snarky as “I’m not answering any more questions for you,” “you’ve met your quota for the week,” or “I’m not giving you more attention,” or some other nonsense.
No, you’re not getting an answer for that question. I guess you might say I’m DOGE the question (ha, get it?). Now careful, you get only one more question for the rest of the week. Choose wisely (also your words).
Not giving you the time of day on one question (which, kinkly you asked at least 5 times) somehow makes me into BDSM. Hilarious, thanks for the laugh.

So you don’t know.
And my rationale is that when you shift the question to something I have no interest in talking about after you dodging a question pertinent to the topic, I refuse to go down the rabbit hole with you.
My question was legit because I caught you talking out of your buttocks in an attempt to belittle another user and you couldn’t handle it because you don’t know the answer.
