Which seems more "pro-cognitive" / logical to you in a situation, where you just don't have the time to "analyze".
1. Retard a TL from an "A/T engaged" detent, but maybe be a little hesitant not to retard it below IDLE to account for the TR inop dispatch. Or could I retard it all the way to MAX REV...
or
2. Use one or all of the 3 stopping facilities of the aircraft: Brakes, Ground Spoilers and Thrust Reversers?
AB is not a bad airplane. It's not perfect either. And if there's room for improvement somewhere, one place has clearly been identified during the discussions (...and repercussions) of the TAM accident.
Why does the discussion bother you post accident? Do you mean that afterwisdom should not exist? I fail to see your point. Transport aviation, with humans in the back, in the scale it exists today.... With the equipment it exists today. You bet there is the need for analysis post accident, and proper actions.
