I would be very surprised if no Boeing pilot on this forum has ever applied the principle of working out a minimum acceptable ground-speed. You might even consider it yourself.
- I would not and NO!

I must admit that I stall at an IAS and not a G/S, old-fashioned as that may be.

PS No 'us and them' - merely sound advice to a 737 pilot. Of course, if olendirk's airline starts teaching G/S approaches, wipe all of that.
