Narrative:

I was the captain on a flight that experienced a tail scrape on landing in mke. I was the PF. The landing was high gross weight with a slight right crosswind. The flight deck crew did not notice anything unusual. We were alerted to the possibility of a tail scrape by the rear flight attendant. I have no idea what caused the scrape.
