At least submit an ASAP or the equivalent safety reporting system at your airline. The company really should do an engineering assessment of this practice so an official policy can be developed and appropriate guidance made available to line crews. Since it's already known that most wear on carbon brakes occurs before they come up to operating temperature, excessive use of cold brakes will cause excessive wear. Besides, who wants smoking hot brakes tucked away in their wheel wells anyway?
