I wonder why he didn’t go around...
Odd coincidence: he was also conducting his LAST 777 flight.
just a tad more power sonny, wings just a bit more level, and don't act like it is a short field landing.....

Well, that didn’t work? LOL
too much simulator time and too little actual practice time?? Seems they might want to go back to the old way and have the new guys actually practice flying the airplane... but, I know, I'm old..and the expense?? Used to be a controller at Sacramento....wasn't unusual to have 4-5 United DC8s and a Pan Am 747 flying around.. pulling engines.. off course corrections...was fun from a controllers standpoint... for me? too much automation now...
