In my opinion, TRs are a useful EXTRA tool, but sometimes I have to remind FOs that we actually do have brakes, and we are allowed to use them at wheel spinup +3 seconds (FAR, FAR quicker to stop a plane than waiting for the engines to spool). Most FOs at XJET have been conditioned for excessive use/dependence on reversers. It's bad airmanship and I'm getting freakin' tired of having to fix problems that check airmen should be fixing. And no I don't want to be a check airman, not any more than I already am, anyway.
