I just want to know if it was Doobie :D

Sorry for sounding like an ... but this guy should be grounded. One bad landing is bad enough but to put those passengers in joepardy twice is just not acceptable. He should find a new profession.
And I'm curious where you got the idea the the passengers were put in jeopardy twice ? The decision to scuttle the 1st landing (vs thinking "I can get the plane landed on the 3rd/4th/xth bounce) was a wise move. Continuing the botched 1st approach would be keeping the passengers in jeopardy. Aborting and starting all over again for a 2nd approach is much better. It's not like this pilot had never landed an airplane before. Steve |

He can probably land a plane better than you.
