This is the last I am going to speak on the subject, we have pounded it into the ground.

Yes, those considerations were made. This maneuver is done at the last minute as a transition from crab to landing. The decision to land has already been made. Also, as I stated earlier, if the asymmetrical thrust was very significant, then the maneuver was not made. That in mind, if using the maneuver and a go-around was necessary, spool up was not an issue.

I understand you have never heard of this technique but not all of us at the majors came from the military or an RJ. There are a few of us who had to learn how to fly on short, icy runways where the wind blows hard. We had to have many tools in our bag and some were not in the manual.
