Default RE: Flapperons/spoilerons which is it?

I was on an AA flight to Ft. Lauderdale and the pilot must have thought he was still flying F-18's. He literally jammed the throttles forward faster than I can on my transmitter. [X(] Unreal the power a 757 can produce in a hurry. On landing, I guess he decided to set the plane up in landing attitude at the outer marker, or just plain forgot to flair – as in the plane never changed attitude from the time full flaps had been deployed until we “arrived” on the runway. [:@] Hardest landing I’ve ever been in. [>:] The whole time he hand flew the plane he was just yank and bank, nothing smooth at all – should have been flying for Evergreen……
