Question Manual or Automaitc Speedbrakes with Antiskid U/S on 738

Interesting question was put to me the other day. Do you have automatic speedbrakes with your antiskid u/s?

My first answer was yes..... as per the Operations Manual "Compression of any landing gear strut enables the flight spoilers to deploy. Compression of the right main landing gear strut enables the ground spoilers to deploy."

Also in the QRH under the Antiskid inop checklist there is no mention of manual speedbrakes, just that ther is a fault with the antiskid system and do not use.

Smart little F?@*$r then pulled out the Airplane Flight Manual and sure enough in big bold letters it says "With Antiskid Inop use Manual Speed Brakes"

Any Ideas?

Regards
