Manual Braking
Post 46, suggests that manual braking is normally used at CGH. The 'decel' light would not be illuminated and therefore not monitored. Looks like the 'Spoiler' indication was not called or if it was it was, not acted upon. But then again, in this situation, it would take an inordinate amount of 'skill' or training to transfer a 'white knuckle' hand from the reverser to the spoiler lever. This maneuver is rarely if ever practised in the sim.
