Do you applaud a waitress when they get the food to you without spillng it? How about the cab driver that get's you there without injury (a much more difficult task then getting airline passengers there statistically speaking)? Why should anybody applaud a pilot that manages to land a plane softly? Especially now when the plane does 90% of the work on it's own anyway?
