In any case (mostly) unnecessary.
Descending clean in FLCH, were you speed restricted by ATC? Why not increase the speed by 20-30kts for an increased descent then pull the spoilers?
Speed callouts have their place indeed and I have nothing against that, on the contrary, it improves awareness when this might happen "unexpected". But the question is: is it forbidden? It is totally not. All of this IS explained in Boeing manuals, so I don't understand the "forbidden" reaction of pilots.
It's funny to notice that ie for a B737, in case of engine failure on takeoff, nobody makes a problem of limiting the bank angle to 15° when flying 400ft above the ground. All this while the background idea is the exactly same: assuring you stay within a safe maneuver capability. Yet in cruise we're going to go callouts and state "that's not allowed"?
It is allowed by Boeing, as long as you limit bank angle appropriatly. I think understanding what is happening is much more important than bluntly calling out and creating an athmosphere in which somebody apparently did something wrong. Because he didn't really do that...
