"13.000 ft RWY was too short?"
Last year one of our 747's blew several tires while landing on a 15,000 ft runway. Management was quick to put out "safety bulletins" concerning use of brakes, implying the crew was at fault. Two weeks later with a different crew the same airplane blew several tires while landing on that same 15,000 ft runway. Sure enough we got more messages about brake use. Turns out there was an intermittant anti-skid problem which was blowing the tires. It's bad enough when management types use the blame the crew first method, it's downright discouraging when fellow crew members do it.
