Despite all their shortcomings, they are big on safety so this will be taken seriously. This was their first landing tail strike but the had one on takeoff in 2008.
Didn't they just have a similar incident in LPMA?
It wasn't publicized if they did. The one in '08 was the only other reported. Normally, something like that can't get hidden too well.
It appeared on aviation herald. They also had pics. The damage was substantial, s few bent spars inside the tail etc
I guess they are getting some cockier cowboys as they push their schedules tighter.
Maybe a month ago
