Skywest recently stalled a -200... I don't know how we haven't done the same with some of our rocket scientists at the controls.

The plane makes you nervous because it goes near the limit? Really? Do you return to the gate if you have a 499 degree start because it approached the limit? Jeezus people... Learn your frickin systems.
