A bit of humility wouldn’t go astray - and this applies equally to both WB type pilots. And perhaps if that had been the case - there might be some more sympathy from 737 pilots.
Callouts like that generally involve significant over time. Therefore brings to question the 40-50 hrs per month claim. Sometimes we don’t like the truth to get in the way of a great story.
