Where do you think I am wrong (again), 411? What is YOUR definition of "proper touchdown point", ? Please allow us all the benefit of your experience.
The last time I used max braking for real? About 4 months ago, (on an RTO in Nagoya).
So if it's a "competition" for recency, I'd say you run a very poor second with your 707 in TPE account.

Seriph, ENRON, WORLD COM and XEROX, were cited as the latest, recent EXAMPLES of the way in which "suits and beanies" (the words YOU chose) are able to have a disastrous effect on not only employees, but shareholders and other companies as well - yet NOT taking PERSONAL (and usually PROFESSIONAL) RESPONSIBILITY, as pilots are forced to do ANYTIME even a slight incident, such as that under discussion, occurs. Pilots do NOT have the same "soft" (gutless) choices that so many of the "suits and beanies" opt for when it is their turn to face the music!

Do other ground staff (attempt to) influence a pilot's decision? Sometimes - perhaps.
