It's not a big deal especially when you're operating at light gross weights, however.... you should still be very aware of the minimum brake cooling schedule.
Having flown the 747, I am extremely aware of the brake cooling schedule. However, that aeroplane was flying Budapest-Athens, not a short leg, and would be returning. So brake cooling on a 737 would not be a factor here. Reverse power not encouraged unless needed due wear. Perfectly reasonable! So that's why, on Earth, they used Autobrake 3 and idle reverse on a 4000m runway! Some people can't just view it for what it is, they just have to try and find something to criticise. It's this that makes me think it better the public never looks in on the FD again!
