The FO made a comment on frequency, and as required by our FOM, the CA coached him that it is not approved. The FO now knows it is not an allowed maneuver.
No-one tried to back up a plane using reverse thrust.

737-100/200 at Continental regularly powerbacked as well as the 727, DC-9, and MD-80. The 737-300 and higher are restricted due to FOD. AirTran power backed the DC-9 and 717s into the mid 2000’s as did AA (MD-80)

there used to be some people who thought flying 175s was more valuable because the engines are under the wings
The old JT8s with buckets werent as suspect to FOD damage as the lower hanging high bypass ratio engines.
