The Swiss braking technique is an unfortunate mindset

Which existed in the 70s and had something to do with reduce brake pad wear..hit them hard.
Was the main reason for the Athens fatal crash but the captain was a senior officer in the military and the copilot ex luftwaffe starfighters and hence easier to blame.
Nearly ran off the end of an icy Gothenburg with a similar ****...needed boroscope checks afterwards.
