No? Oh, well why not.
See how baseless the argument is? We're not over here slamming landings carrier style with full brakes.
No need to get your panties all in a bunch and no we use brakes every time to get off the runway anyway and with this airplane as we know the most stopping power comes from full manual brakes. Do we ever use that? No, I hope not at least. But regardless we do use the brakes. I used to work at a part 142 facility and dealt with feds all the time and this once came up which is why I thought I would chime in from their perspective is all. I recalled an AC from about 10 years back that was actually issued because this was so prominent and runway overruns were becoming more common. After searching I actually found it AC 91-79. - " (4) Thrust reversers, if installed, are also most effective at high speeds and should be deployed as soon as possible after touchdown." Everyone is in charge of their own ship, I just thought the "overhead bins rattle" argument was not a good one. And with full reverse you save the brakes for the next guy
