Heard at one stage that the particular landing style was a fuel saving idea ?

Mick's new money-saving idea is to dispense with €300k p.a. pilots and use €25k p.a. cabin-staff for landings and take-offs (he may have to review this idea as the normal sequence is to have a take-off and then a landing, but hey, no-one's perfect). The bit in the middle, which used to be called flying, is now taken care of by the on-board computers linked to GPS at the departure point and destination. In the short-term, the trolly-dolly take-offs and landings may be a trifle eventful, but sure they'll pick it up in time and they'll be grand.... Surely it is just the odd dodgy landing (perhaps the conditions don't help?) that is to blame? Or nervous or inexperienced pilots? ...
If its as bad as OP says it may also be a money making racket on extra loo paper if the rumours about his [broken link removed]
Does anybody else think that Ryanair land their planes fairly violently.
Not in my experience of Aeroflot. About twenty five years ago my job required weekly flights all over Europe. Dan Air and Aeroflot were two that I tried not to use. But that was then and this is nowThe Aeroflot pilots based in Shannon had a reputation as providing the gentlest of landings - they had been trained that way to minimise wear and tear on the tyres.
