Wasn't that the one where they weren't even selecting reverse idle, and landed wet and deep and still didn't select any reverse until too late? BA always uses reverse idle and medium or light autobrakes unless more is needed. It is not just economy- reverse power is darn noisy, and that is a major factor in our responsibilities these days. I've had to override a copilot who, as a matter of course, was so unthinking that he used a lot of reverse power at LGW at 3.30 in the morning! Embarrasing. Where do they get them?
