1. capable of being done, effected, or put into practice, with the available means; feasible
So would the Stick Shaker Qualify as Practicable?

Sorry, I don't carry a Webster's Dictionary with me when I fly. When you get some real experience you'll understand what they mean. Good thing you weren't single pilot, I guess.

A little reading for you. I suggest you petition the FAA to change their training program.

It is the pilot's responsibility and prerogative to refuse speed adjustment that he/she considers excessive or contrary to the aircraft's operating specifications.
FYI I knew this before you gave me this "experience," but thanks anyway.
You're doing the Aviation Industry a great service by teaching us Low Time Pilots in Airline Cockpits. You need a Trophy or better yet someone should get you a couple Plaques!There.... Hopes that makes you feel like a BIGGER man, if you know what I mean!

Like I said, I am paid by the minute. Extend my downwind? Bring it on! $$$$
