Aero - Corporate for the most part doesn't use reduced take off power because there is no incentive to do so. We can't extend engine overhaul times, as they are set. In the few exceptions where trend monitoring is allowed to extend overhaul times, we run into cycle limitations..so the overhaul expense might be delayed, but we just pay more when we get there, as more cycle limited components are coming due. All that said...only the robots are burning up more runway then they have to and putting their lives at risk by doing so. You can take the cheapest boss on earth and if given the hypothetical option of stretching overhaul times with trend monitoring..he will quickly tire of the the pilots burning up pavement and throwing up the gear at the end of the runway day after day.
