"...why do you attack when someone shows some understanding for the deck crew of a heavy flight landing on a lousy weather night on a somewhat less than best runway?"
Not an attack, sir, just a statement of fact. Unless there was a brake failure, it is self evident that the PF [pilot flying] had landed his "heavy flight" way too far down the pavement to get stopped before the end. And the PM (Pilot Monitoring) was not assertive enough to take corrective action and take over the controls and initiate a go around. At best, it can also be called crew incompetence if not wreckless operation of an airplane...
All this Mickey Mouse debate about
: Non grooved runway; wet runway; tailwind; delayed reverser actuation; rain; max landing weight; . . . is neither cause nor reason for a B737 to have to run off the end of a 8900 feet pavement. For many moons much larger, heavier wide bodies have landed in the rain on this non grooved, slick-when-wet pavement. Get real.
