Bad pilots are the worst! Shaky landing plus coming in too hot and slamming on brakes is not cool, Delta pilots!!!! 😡😡😡😡

Pilot here: your discomfort was probably not the pilot's fault. More likely caused by spacing, other a/c, and (most of all) weather. He didn't come in "too hot"––airlines regulate approach speed. It's not like a pilot can just decide to fly an approach at 250 kt. if he feels like it (and, if the approach is seriously unstablized, they'll go around). In a heavy, gusty crosswind, the safest way to fly the approach is slightly faster than usual, hard landing, quick deceleration. Probably not your pilot's fault, and certainly no reason to criticize all Delta pilots––passengers' comfort is not first priority during a landing; their safety is.

Navy pilots... It may not be their fault though.

As a recreational pilot myself, shaky landings can't always be avoided, even in the best of pilots. Mother Nature is fickle bitch. Stick with consulting. Let them fly the plane.

Once had a landing where multiple people didn't wake up until we were at the gate bc it was so smooth.

Combination of skill and good weather. The bottom line is that in a gusting crosswind it would be irresponsible and dangerous to fly the same approach you'd fly if you had a perfectly constant 10-kt. headwind right down the centerline.

I'm a light sleeper who cares too much about the people around me, but I've got a flight to London next Friday from 7pm NYC time to 7am UK time, and I'd really like to master sleeping on a plane just this once and not be in jet lag hell for the entire day after I land. I'll be in premium economy in an aisle seat. I usually take melatonin before bed and sleep on my side. Does anyone have suggestions for an OTC sleeping pill or pillow that actually works, or other advice for sleeping on a plane?

My worry is that EC/VC firms are crazy busy work differently from general corp, I also won’t have control over my hours, and potentially worse based on how billing differs (block billing on a few clients vs having to work with 15 or more startups). Is the same true for tech trans or IP group?
