That would be expected, but in newer airliners, the operator is not
really
supposed to even operate the rudder. That idea is of course only
filtering
down to pilots after the A-300 event at Rockaway.

Not so. The rudder is used to coordinate flight in modern airliners as in
any airplane.

Sorry Darrel, but you are outdated.

It just doesn't take nearly as much with a properly
functioning yaw damper.

Or any at all.

The pilot flying keeps his feet on the rudder
pedals when hand-flying the aircraft.

An unsafe practice, for modern airliners.

Rudder is used to deliberately
un-coordinate the aircraft when taking off and landing with a crosswind.

No, use of the rudder is explicity unsafe.

I
know some airliners are landed in a crab with a crosswind but most call
for
wing low into the wind with opposite rudder for alignment. Even autoland
uses opposite rudder to convert from a crab to a slip, usually at 150'
AGL.

Nice for a DC-9.

The only change after the A-300 event is a re-evaluation of what is meant
by
being at or below max maneuvering speed. The old idea that being at or
below that speed allows full control deflection with no restrictions is
what
is being questioned.

No, there is no question whatsover that the AA pilots were in violation of
that flight rule. What came out of the A-300 acident was both large
transport manufacturers saying pilots should not use the rudder under normal
operations.
