Some people take that swagger as pilot bravado.

I consider it the confidence that good training instills.
I'm sure you're right. I also happen to work right in between two runways, so I see planes taking off and landing all day, every day. There's even a couple of small "Lear" jets for lack of a better term with Air Force markings that do touch and goes *all day long*. Every day. These guys take off and land *alot*. I'm sure it was a non-event for the pilots - I've just never been a passenger in that situation.

The pilot even came on and said that it was a frustrating for them as it was for us...
