He has no credibility as far as I'm concerned.
And the speed, the VMO changes dependant on altitude, therefore the guys were flying around at 240 at 8,000 and they'd hit a bump and beep- overspeed warning. FAR from a safety issue.
Agree, I dont see how overspeeding an airplane briefly is a big deal whatsoever. If an FO sets off the overspeed clacker, it just means he has to buy the captain a beer. If the captain sets off the overspeed clacker, it just means the FO has to buy him a beer. Setting off the overspeed clacker appears to be a great deal!
