Boeing does not talk about SOPs, it explains in the FCTM and uses words like "normal" and "not recommended". When it comes to landing gear it uses words as "passenger comfort" and "gear door life". It explains how to, or to avoid, use of flaps, gear and speedbrake as a combo. On the other side, the problem with these "demo's" is that people tend to use it as a standard because "they can". This is a training issue: you can show/demo an ability, that doesn't make it a standard practice. But against SOPs?
Simple case of RTFM.
I don't know what airline you work for mate, but we have an FCTM and an FCOM, and mentioned is the prohibited use of speed brake with the gear down.
RTFM, indeed.
