Rickair, Get real
do some research on just how effective they really are......... I didnt say I dont ever use them but there not a magic Lever that stops the airplane in 1,000ft
Another thought:
Two of the memory items on the CRJ emergency checklist call for reverse thrust: Rejected Takeoff and Asymmetric Braking/Loss of Braking. Effective enough for the emergency checklist, effective enough for me.
