Interesting post...somehow the "bus" always manages to stir things up.....i was in the same quandary while undergoing my LOFT earlier this year where ex - Boeing guys insisted we keep our feet on the floor and trust the Autobrakes ( but what about a RTO below 72kts! ) while the bus drivers told us otherwise...i continue to keep my feet on the pedals, felt a bit strange initially but am used to it now...
