"cathay pilot's never make good landings". If you judge a pilot on his landings to your clearly "expert" opinion and standard you are a true passenger with no clue.

To all Future Commenter(s):

The pilot isn't to blame. The Runway is. Soekarno Hatta is notorious for it's bumpy runway, heck everytime i fly w/Garuda Indonesia A330 they do that. Just be aware of what you are writing.

@karsten11111 But yes concrete has joins that make it a bit noticeable to pax : ) my first job was on RH seat of a ATR 42 and when we into the old Bangkok and that thing gets you airborne again! I feel bad for the F-5 Thai Air Force guys flying out of there! Thats more of the slabs sinking into silt though. New one in Bangkok I hear is good, just too far from town but they will have crew hotels up soon at the airport.

@karsten11111 I agree Cathay pilots (other than SOME of the local cadets I learnt with) are good - as far as RWY surface goes, concrete CAN mess things up like in Australia because dead grass either side but in something that is big and IFR like an airliner, even if your landing vis you aren't looking at the runway on flare - Peripheral vision and eyes to the end - but it depends on A/C. The only issue would be how rough she is not the material or colour of RWY - its all certified the same.

Hey, I think Cathay's pilots always do a great job. EVERY PLANES' landing VARIES because of the wind speed, the turbulence and even the viability. In this airport, you can see that the runway is NOT black in colour, not make up of CONCRETE. Therefore, the plane lands very shakily. Just be aware of what you are writing.

THUMBS UP if you agree what I say.

@10aagun I'm doing an airline cadetship now. Only have about 90 hours but a hour in the air would count for a hundred sitting in front of flight sim and arguing on youtube.

[Cathaydude]

@gnarkillkicksass no pilots make perfect landings

what i call "airbus style reversers" always remind me of a blooming flower. they look like pedals blooming and producing one of the greatest sounds known to mankind!

@Aipl15 The Runway is also not to blame. I touched down at jakarta 9 times with Thai Airways and it's never hard. Even when landing in Bangkok with the same airline I got 1 moderate landing. I'm uploading a video about me experiencing the smoothest landing and it's in Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta airport.
