It was either " Madness" or " Moronic", so I say figured the former was less insulting.
On a technical level , there is no advantages ( on the 737, anyway) and only a heap of hurt if getting it wrong.
The fact that a bunch of test pilots with zero line experience has gotten away with using it , and does not see the potential for a disaster in our hands , repeating it a few million times a year , instead of proper conservative breaking , means nothing. In my book!
Another little thing on the 737 the autobrake some times does not arm. All you do then is go to zero for a few seconds, then back to desired selection , and voila, it arms. Doing that midfield at 100kts eats rwy!?
Anyway
I recall doing a thing or two some times back, when the "culture" was somewhat more relaxed. Sure we had fun , and we were good, but most of the time lucky.
Buzzing my Brothers farm on empty trips at 100 feet comes to mind,,,
You all have fun now
