As far as putting your face up next to the window, it might get a little old on a 9 hour flight. Flying through the ITCZ is what it is.

My best experience was doing a interview for Tianjin with a Checkairman that had 1/3rd of the time in the EMb190 that I did. He gave me the typical V1 cut, loss off hydraulic 2, no AP/FD, RNav to Mins with 50 kt crosswind transitioning to 30 kts at Mins while also giving me pitch trim runaway at the marker after gear went down. I was told through the translator, " Captain, you are not Tianjin Captain material" after I went around at 800 ft.

Dude are you like 12 or something? I only do that trick when I'm approaching weather at night in VMC. Just to supplement and validate what's on the radar. Geez!!! Oh and by the way. I have flown all the oceans of the world too. But I don't have to brag about it. You must be a gem to work with.
Prime example of why I rarely ever post.
As a current A320 operator. I hope this one gets solved.
God speed.
