Call me an old fart , or a cantankerous old fart. . . but whenever I have landed in places where it said "reverse thrust only allowed for safety reasons" I have always used detent 2 (or 3 if I was a little pissed off that day) When the guy on the right said why ? simple I said, for the safety of my licence . . . and yours.
After what the Greeks did to the Swissair crew in Athens, can you believe they had the cheek to put this sh1t on a Jepp? for Athens
Give it large, pull those handles back any time you want to hear that comforting sound, the sound of your licence being protected.

I really think gentlemen, we are sometimes guilty of getting hung up on details, and thereby losing sight of the big picture. . . best not to , really!
Get back to basic basic basics, land the fecker (somewhere sensible on the RW) and get it stopped somewhere that you can subsequently taxi it to a stand, christ, nothing changed this last 50 yrs, did it ? ?
