You gotta consider the fact that this regional airlines employ recently graduated pilots. Who hasn't ever flared a bit high?- Give'im a brake!

My ass if they actually needed those thrust reversers... They landed at like 105 anyway... Haha

yup. agreed. some nose high attitude there. bit overdone. still, 'defaultyuser' above has it right. regionals are chock full of 'newbies. this could have been
( and most probably was......) the FO's leg and landing.
lol! hell, if he'd have just added power at that attitude with mains down, aircraft would probably have begun a rotation and leapt back into the air again. ( retracting Spoilers first, of course) nice observation.

Glad I am taking United Express operated by Skywest and not Mesa!

@crapper1 ya true
-
@adamgamedude if the VSI is high enough it would do that however ive seen a small plane do the same at the local airfield tho he put a skid plate there cause he said it happens often with students
-
@crapper1 if the tail hits the whole tail bounces off the ground and the nose probably will bounch a couple times
-
that woulda been rly ugly if the tail touched!

I wonder if that the pilot I had coming into Chicago last week. Did the same thing. Has a real nice soft landing but felt like the plane was straight up.
