. Beware calls for more EMAS or other technologies, because ‘it saved the day’. Such systems are indicators of upstream problems; these must first be understood and fixed before resorting to ‘engineered’ solutions.
Are you mad? What we've just seen is a perfect example of a case which may have led to multiple casualties reduced to little more than dented pride and a new set of gear.

No professional pilot would ever see EMAS as a reason to cut things tighter than is safe - but on the day that someone reports the braking action as "good" when it isn't, I'll be glad that it's there.
