Air Asia seems to have a fairly standard procedure of not using reverse on landing. I have never even witnessed them using idle reverse.

Looks like it finally bit them on the arse.
Use full reverse on a slippery runway with a crosswind and
you're begging for trouble. I see no evidence of reversers
causing the problem unless he actually did "gun the buckets"
and No 1 hung up.

As mentioned earlier could the armchair experts wait until the
evidence is in before exercising your impulsive predilections for
rabidly assigning blame? Speculation is one thing, pointing the
uninformed finger is another.
