I've heard the freezing parking brake story before. What are the chances of that happening when you're holding on the rwy for 30 sec? 1 min??? Why didn't it freeze at the gate when you were boarding? How about flying in the summer? Same logic?
I've had a few military guys tell me that the they had a rule that when the a/c was not in motion the parking brake had to be set.
As far as stupid... I guess you're entitled to your opinion.
Our Mechanic has said not to set the paking brake while shutting down the engines. I say, you do your job, I'll do mine. You will only freeze the brakes if you ride the hell out of 'em. Don't ride the brakes {slow down} and you will never, let me repeat, never, FREEZE the brakes.
