Cool

...and fundamentally, as an aircraft commander, if I'm stopped on the ground, and I'm not just about to go anywhere, I'll set the brakes so that the above doesn't happen to me.

I might think about getting some chocks inserted and taking care of things that way, but leaving the aircraft restrained by the autobrake after an RTO is a complete no-no in my book, and will remain so until someone brings forward a convincing argument as to why that action would amount to good airmanship.

I fear that this is another case of a manufacturer's poorly-thought-through procedure being deconstructed by anally-retentive trainers who can't see the wood for the trees.

Sorry for the harsh words, but you may have guessed, that they're heartfelt.
