Why fly with 2 sets of brakes when you can just fly with one.

There's no way that translation was mistaken for "autobrakes," then?
I've never seen an Aeroflot tire, or any russian tire in use for that matter, that didn't have cord showing.
Besides, if they were really operating without brakes, wouldn't that just make them Southwest?

Maybe, but JNB is, as everyone knows, Johannesburg, and nobody uses brakes in joburg.

The same school of thought that notes anything will fly with enough power also finds that anything is a brake: the only difference is cost.
