Thumbs down

A certain charter carrier has prescribed that its crews cannot use more than min auto brake due to excessive wear on its A321s. As a result they regularly miss all high speed exits and take forever to get off the runway at a 90 degree exit.
This resulted in a go-around due to an aircraft lined up behind not able to depart before the next arrival.
Nice way to find out about your company's pennypinching - by costing another company substantially more in the go-around!
Please, minumum runway occupancy time - it matters to us all.
