from someone who fixes them brakes are a lot easer to replace than engines .....yes brakes will heat up quickly but carbon brakes cool down as quick WHEN PARKED even without fans plus rev idle uses more fuel ....just use the brakes that what they are there for....same as your car

Remember not to use idle reverse during taxi in after a strong braking during landing roll when you have strong tail wind because the fumes of jet blast and hot brakes can be ricirculated throughout air conditioning in the cabin. Bad experience encountered!
