73qanda I'm 100% with you. Always amazed me how some pilots will happily fly close to Green Dot speed at very high altitude in turbulence... MMO is a aerodynamic limitation not a structural limitation. it's almost impossible to exceed the structural limitation in cruise phase with an overspeed. Talking about the A320, during certification they pushed the aircraft up to 381kts IAS (VD) and Mach .89 (MD) and it was perfectly fine. Source: Safety First #21 January 2016. The VMO/MMO is 350/.82 on A320 Family. Yes at low level we can overtake most airliners xD.
