New FO recently on applying takeoff power - "stable" as the command sector is at redline and the engines are accelerating through 40%. Huh?!?!? Afterwards I ask him what that was about? "Everyone says 'stable' at about 40%." Yes...but there's the slightest pause to confirm that they're symmetrical. "Oh. No one told me that. I thought I was just copying what they were doing." He fixed it. He just hadn't been told. He'd observed it but didn't see the nuance. The great part was departing SNA a couple of days later and there's skidmarks on the departure end of 20R from a split N1 situation as they started their departure roll - "that's why we mark sure they're stable."

Everybody gets to speak, which is rule number 1. What you should be saying is, “Prove it”. If he can’t, your point has been made. What we don’t need are thought/word police telling anyone that they can’t have that opinion. The American left has really shot themselves in the foot with this tactic.

Maybe he should have cracked a book. That’s where procedures are at

aa is the only airline that doesn't call for stable at 40% FYI. he may have had a 737 type before. also AA is the only airline that allows autothrottle on with a/p off. never seen that before.
