Likewise...You made the statement "...trying to explain why I violated SOP..." and to that end my only intention is to clarify that the FCOM VOL 1, Normal Procedures, Expanded states "CEO: Engines may be shut down upon gate arrival regardless of 3-minute cool down period." If I'm not mistaken that is an approved procedure and therefore SOP, however I'm most certainly open to correction on that stated SOP.
