Looking for any and all perspectives on this. Thanks.
Some people gripe just because they feel they can.
Your story reminds me of an LCA who got all worked up over a base leg that wasn't a precise 90 deg. angle to final on a visual w/ a landing clearance and we were the only ones on approach at the time.
LCA: "You did it wrong. It's supposed to be done this way."
Me: "Wilco."
Then dump and disregard.
You've got 3 decades of professional flight experience under your belt. You're experienced and expert enough to not need to worry about pedantic, over-bearing BS like this.
