Also, I'm not at all sure this was prompt action. As a dinosaur, I'm very hesitant to criticise younger crews that know so much more, but that prolonged low negative g was making me ache as I counted the seconds.

I recall getting into the habit of testing the brakes while the kinetic energy was still high. Hardly enough for the passengers to feel, but that short moment was very comforting and all-telling. I imagine these days the system would tell on me for non SOP actions.
