Exactly. And if you think FOQA is not tracking all your underspeeds you are in for a slow rude awakening.

Irrelevant. HK claimed that overspeeds were occuring (which I'm sure is true) and cited .815 as an example. .815 is not an overspeed, whether FOQA tags it or not.

Funny though, the dudes most likely to ride the barber pole that I fly with are the senior ones.

This is astonishing if accurate. If I’m Delta, I’m going to Capitol Hill as hard as possible against 67!

One hand full of tiller another full of throttles. If I look down we are into the weeds (or an RJ)

about 45... before that they are pleasant and easy going, after they are angry old guys but mean is too strong a word, I'd say disgruntled

Maybe that's because the 737 community had a reputation of simply saying, "You should always land with at least 6.0." Years of using crutches like that cause people to panic when they get in situations where landing with 6.0 isn't an option.
