Since then I have joined a Boeing operator and to my surprise their philosiphy is don't reset anything popped without consulting maintenance or a checklist instructs it. I'd still look their straight away but if they don't want us touching em fine. Their plane their rules.
Yep..thoughts have changed over the years ( with good reason) and simply stuffing a popped CB back in when it has popped, especially on the ground, is somewhat frowned upon in some places...
