Me neither..... and I've seen VFR helicopters joining in very tightly behind heavies counting on us to use "reduced runway separation".

The fun part is, we can only use "reduced runway separation" when the braking action isn't affected....... which makes a lot of sense when no. 2 is a helicopter....
