No kidding (unless you consider MEX to be international -- which it is but isn't.)
In NYC the top 40% of A's can get Europe most of the time in the summer. In the winter (now) it takes being in the top 15% to consistently fly to Europe/Africa.
In ATL it's probably 10% and 5% (j/k well, maybe.)

Easy....Flaps 3, then 1 second after touchdown, tap the brakes off and let the full reverse slow the plane down....fuel savings and no wear on the brakes....at least thats the way one of the LCP's teaches his landings.

And we can find that in what manual? LCP technidures are the worst.

I DO NOT CARE ABOUT FUEL SAVINGS. I care about safety.
Reverse work better in high speed, not low speed. The problem is not the autobrakes, is the pilots NOT knowing how to use the auto brakes. Hence, your LCA advise is not as good as he believe it is.

1/2mv^2…for each brake application regardless of duration or intensity. Something something physics.

Except this doesn’t work with carbon-carbon brakes.

I would love it if people would stop kicking the auto brakes off at 100-80 and then jamming their toes down for the rest of the deceleration, and closing the reversers as soon as they are idle. Can easily taxi off the runway with them at idle and deployed, as that article suggests.
