Thank you for your replies, one and all. I was never confused about the 'procedure' before good airmanship was replaced by the new Cathay 'one size fits all; no thought required, reduced to the lowest common denominator' way of doing things took over. The SID says to climb as rapidly as possible. It leaves discretion up the the pilot as to how to accomplish this. Cathay has taken that away. And the main reason I asked the question was so that when my brother pilots jump in the sim for their PC, doing their V1 cut and having loaded the Vref + 50 into the box, unlike the dullard I am, I don't want them to stop and think, "do I still do Vref + 50 with an engine out." while horsing around with the departure etc. I really don't think my question was worthy of some of the seemingly contemptible replies, however, I thank the Cathay Gods for their enlightenment just the same!
