If you do a quick google news search for "tail strike" you might note that of the 5 tail strike incidents since January, 4 were airbus aircraft.

Interesting, back in the day you would see if the a/c pressurizes? Now I believe they don’t even take a chance and select manual pressurization control to fully (confirm) depressurize the cabin and return to land…assuming that landing weight has been reached. Makes you wonder why the crew would climb to 10,000’ IF they followed the non-normal checklist?
