At some point you may need to consider just pushing the thrust levers to the stops.

Excellent point. But one needs to be a pilot to do that. We have far too many "automation supervisors" in the industry, especially in the foreign carriers.

An idiot, as always, he provided absolutely no useful information beyond a lot of "wow, that's the worst tailstrike I've ever seen."

He's just got a video up on the SEAT crash in Montana, which includes, among other gems, that it took on "15,000 lbs of water," which is really impressive, given that it's a sixteen thousand pound airplane. He can't post a video and get it right. He just can't.

There's plenty of "look at me" factor, though. They're one long selfie. Brilliant.

Thrust levers add smashes. Less yoke pulls and yanks. I've said something worthless. No need to say "thanks".
