zeffy, apparently you don't get it.
I AM SAYING the guys made a mistake, they didn't follow the procedures, 1.3 epr etc.
BUT ONCE you are out of control why not try to salvage it?
IF you had landed on centerline, on speed, gotten nose wheel on the ground and went to 1.3 epr and then lost control, cancelled reverse and you were still headed for disaster would you:
1. Attempt assymetric thrust to regain control
2. give up and go along for the ride
I AM not saying land and fool around with reverse thrust assymetry
I AM SAYING land and maintain directional control, but if that fails you might try what I've been talking about.
