“...it’s also fun to critique the cockpit...”Are ya gonna log that as 2 landings?”. Or tell ‘em they did a great job.”

Sometimes I congratulate them for letting the FO land the plane.

"Sometimes I congratulate them for letting the FO land the plane."

A joke I once heard was that after a particularly rough landing a passenger exiting the plane asked the captain, "Let me guess - Navy?"

I've only had one really bad landing (hard enough to pop some overhead compartments open). I was ready to ask the pilot if he was from the Navy and whether he caught the third wire, but he and the copilot hid in the cockpit while the passengers stumbled off the plane.

After that landing I always made sure to keep my tongue away from my teeth on landing so I don't bite it.
