Why don't other carriers use em? Is there still a problem with uncommanded deployment?

CLECA said:No, it just reminded me that no one else really uses them and couldn't remember why. We use them on every landing and I knew others don't. Someone, I think it was CHQ, that has a few A/C without them even installed.

It doesn't really make sense to me either. Last time I sat in the Jumpseat of a TSA plane the capt. was explaining to me that they take a weight penalty on planes without TR's.

michael707767 said:actually, thats BS. Aircraft are certified for take off and landing distances without TRs, so there would be no penalty.

So you bag an engine and need to stop, well you've only got one reverser now anyway, AND it's probably going to be giving you some assymetrical reverse that could pose a problem if you need alot of it.
But I could be wrong. Comments or additions?
