Calm down!

The issue of 'experience' is a total red herring here. We brief for utterly unambiguous criteria. It HAS to be that way, because there is NO thinking time available to use 'experience'! My mother following those directions, would make the correct decision as often as I would. No experience/interpretation required! But the fact is, the PM is often in a better position to make an accurate AND TIMELY call, than the PF. The captain isn't always the PM!

The captain can make excellent use of his 'superior' experience AFTER the stop!!

I currently fly with people exactly like Hotel Mode in my rhs. Top guys! However, not very long ago, I was flying Toulouse's finest, with 200 hour pilots. They aren't idiots! They will make the correct call, as reliably as the old git in the lhs! (Me!)

Anything not fitting the strict criteria, I will call 'stop' or 'continue'. Such is the privilege of rank!
