The only time I ever have ever bounced a landing here at Delta it had to be William Shatner on board on the 88.
He gave me hell. I just bowed my head and took my lumps.
Now the 88 is a fantastic landing airplane and to an extent I enjoy it more than the 757 which was a great landing plane. But it was during that first 100 hours when you kind of over think the landings as you and the airplane come to terms and we've been great friends ever since.
But I'm sure next time William Shatner is on board my plane I'll bounce it. I'll blame it on him to his face then.
BTW, he rode in coach.

A: Lower your standards.
A bad landing in the 727 is a lot like masturbating. You're not proud when you do it but you know it's gonna happen again.

I had the fish
I get paid by the bounce.
You should have seen my last landing!
It was the other guy's leg.
I had to dodge the kitten SWA tossed on to the runway
Wear paper "trainee" hat whilst greeting deplaning pax
Trying to turn off laptop at the same time.
The tire "spin up" calculator was misaligned
I was collecting my bags from overhead bin to be first off the plane
Flux capacitor was low
