They haven’t done this and I doubt they will ever do this as it is a very bad technique to use in such a large jet.
Have you read the thread on this topic? It's got very little to do with aerodynamic braking (only very small effect due to increased drag from elevator deflection). Why is it bad technique to ensure maximum main wheel loading, and therefore best possible braking and steering performance? There is next to no chance off tailstrike due to pitch down moment of braking and reverse. Besides, you would be able to tell if you'd overcooked it and caused the nosewheel to leave the ground.
