Hi Alton77,

I've just watched the ppt again and think the emphasis is on reduced fuel and DMC (Direct Maintenance Cost).

It suggests that overiding the autobrakes increases the brake temp. and increases tyre wear and the subsequent costs. They also say that for performance issues (I guess earlier runway turn off ?) then you should consider using Flaps full etc.
