All I'm saying that as absolute laymen (and women) we have no knowledge as SLF on whether the landing was performed correctly or not by the subjective feeling of aircraft being 'slammed' into the runway. Airbus aircraft offer the flight crew a high level of automation to land the aircraft safely and effectively. SOP makes sure IC/9W pilots use the automation as much as possible to land the aircraft. 'Slamming' the aircraft into the runway may be required in certain conditions. If they make too hard a landing however the aircraft has to go into maintenance immediately afterward to inspect the landing gear. It is difficult to believe an airline has an SOP that calls for hard landings or tolerates repeated unnecessary hard landings that cause expensive damage to the aircraft in the long run. Modern equipment also tracks the the strains on an aircraft so operations and maintenance people will know what the flight crew did to the aircraft even if they don't report it.
