I definitely remember the first time I noticed a truly different landing in a commercial plane. I can only describe it as "coming in hot": we approached at a higher speed, descended faster, and the reverse thrusters were very active. We stopped really quickly. It definitely felt like the pilot was applying some specialized training, which was confirmed by the pilot who was standing at the doorway to the flight deck when we passed by.
