Read post 4 there's a good chap.
Of course everything you say is correct and professional, and would be generally mirrored by anyone reading these posts BUT.................
I would like to think that it might be a possibility to cut the mags after main wheel contact (nothing else) bearing in mind the relatively simple task faced by the pilot(s) - it's not as if it was on fire, or one of the mains wouldn't lock down etc. That's assuming (of course) they were able to brief in time, and after all of the other safety issues had been covered.
Nobody has suggested that we mere mortals should try the "Shut Down In The Air" technique so ably described by Eric.
