He sat there in high AOA in ground-effect at idle, saying "Wait, wait, it will do it..." By the time he realized it wouldn't go around on its own, it was too late.

Back to the Original story: the 787 should not have a common type with the 777.

For those who think the airlines will say "Yes, we should give the 787 pilots the same pay as the 777," they will add "and the 777 is over-paid because the 787 is a smaller airplane. Badda-bing, badda-boom, you have the same pay---and it is 20% lower!"
