Flew with a CA this last trip (great CA, by the way...not bashing him in any way) who was big on spooling the reversers whenever we'd fly an EP, regardless of runway conditions or length. He said that it's due to the EP's weaker brakes, which I can understand, but I've never seen it done this way before. Is this common practice? I've always just spooled the TRs on shorter runways and/or contaminated runways.
