The original post clearly stated: "Similar to a recent difference of opinion that arose re use of autobrake for landing on a long into-wind dry runway."
Clearly the runway concerned was not limiting. There was no justification for the F/O concerned for such a petulant action which was beyond comprehension.
Something that can be pointed out at the gate after you show them how good Autobrake 2 is 👍.
Our manuals say the same thing, they also state “all automatic stopping devices/systems shall be armed for touchdown unless directed otherwise by an aircraft specific operating procedure.”
Maybe your FO is from one of these airlines. Again, a great discussion point somewhere between the Gate and the Pub 👌
