At least 3/4 of the pilots experienced fast, hard landings or had difficulty getting in trim for landing or had to make changes to flight computers that reduced situational awareness. It seems clear that approach and landing, especially at busy, hub airports with parallel runways, are the chokepoint where the lack of experienced controllers and overworked pilots combine to reduce airline safety.

This means that everyone in aviation has every reason to "Report" all of these incidents. Airlines gave out these report cards to their pilots, and instructed them to fill these out whenever they had doubts about what happened. Now we are going to make regulations from this, absolutely Ridiculous.

The good thing is, that they only spent $11.3M of our money on this. I think that's less than their coffee budget.
