I still maintain that you are assuming and you are not a commercial pilot you are a private pilot.

You are assuming they took risk to save a few minutes of fuel and I dont belive that for one minute

It is perfectly possible. So long as the runway is long enough for the aircraft and the approach path is legal then I see no reason to assume this did not occur.

Let's keep the tone civil please !!!

I'm all for spirited discussion, but personal attacks are NOT tolerated on FlyerTalk.

Thank you for understanding.

I am a regular on the STN-LBC route (though I stopped using Ryanair for a while after that rather scary incident). It is quite common at LBC to have Stansted flights land on 07 and take off on 25 (straight in - straight out), and I appreciate that in the right wind conditions this isn't much of an issue even on a runway that is only 1800m long. (Though of course you always give up some of your safety margin if you choose to land with a tailwind...)

On this particular occasion we were coming in very fast and very high - we were still above the control tower when we crossed the threshold, we touched down very fast and very hard a long way down the runway, and we came to a stop on the 25 numbers. There was a lot of gasping, and a collective sigh of relief when we came to a stop. The surface wind at the time was 250/05, so it was a straight tailwind.

This may well have been a case of a one-off pilot error, but this is an error that was entirely avoidable.

Back in my hotel career I once signed a merchant agreement for a new hotel, and it was very clear in the contract that a merchant cannot charge a fee for CC use, nor offer a discount for cash instead of CC. I'm very surprised to see this out in the open, I would assume that such clauses are still standard merchant agreements.
