When conditions are difficult I will decide on my own safe airspeed and fly that irrespective of what g/s mini thinks.
It's worked all the way from L-188 through B727 etc and now airbus.
Don't be a slave to the automation.
It doesn't make sense replying to 7year old thread but since Uplinker brought it up I want to.
Actually this person has flown only one aircraft under different certifications and he is doing the same with A320. The statement is ignorance hidden behind pride. It's not Boeing's but even NONFBW Airbuses are also flown his way. FBW made it possible to handle it in a better fashion. Since flight path stability takes care of changes in speed and thrust it became possible to create GS mini.
