I know that the BAe Jetstreams have reverse as they can 'Power Back' as opposed to 'Push Back'.

However, a captain on the J41 of my acquaintence says this, "Once you are rolling backwards, close the throttles and let her come to rest by herself. DON'T step on the brakes at anything other than a s-l-i-g-h-t roll or she will promptly sit on her @rse!"

I understand that the passengers find this inconvenient and that it also irritates the management.
