Pretty sure everyone at the Barney company knows who this individual is. Not only have I heard he promotes that V2 climb, but also rotating like a 727 at Vr, (better have those numbers right, had one FO almost drag the tail) 18 hour duty days, adjusting Vspeeds at whim, giving the copilots orals during every phase of flight and not to mention his word is gold in managements eye. Like I told FOs when I was there, all you can do is deny flying with him because you feel he is "unsafe". They can't fire you for that especially when you believe it is a safety issue.

Miketang,
bring your captain to TEB on the ruddy 5 departure, do that crazy stuff, and watch him get a phone number really quick, or maybe get the airplane in a 0-G situation. You should bring that situation up to your CP or DT.

Look at your SE driftdown speeds. This speed is essentially L/D max. Same approximate speed in a climb will give you best climb. It's rough but it's close. For my jet the average driftdown speed is around 150.
V2 is for one scenario only. Engine failure at V1. That's it. Engine failure at 700 feet and 180 kts, are you really going to pitch to V2? I'm pitching to 150. The airplane should still be climbing nicely and you are still on the middle of the power curve.
I've never seen a reason to climb at V2 other than an engine failure at V1. I'm typically V2 and a bunch before the gear is up and that is pitching to AFM T.O. pitch angle.
