Re: Descending at vmo
I don't see any mention in Capt Smiley's original post of anything to do with O2 or the need for 'fast' descents, so the following comment is based on the assumption that we are talking 'normal' operations (i.e. non-emergency) here.
My concern is that if the overspeed clacker sounds, the aircraft has operated outside it's normal operating envelope, and at the very least the tech log needs to be annotated to that effect and the relevant Air Safety Report (ASR) filed. If this is not being done (i.e. the problem is just being 'laughed' off) then we have on our hands a bunch of unprofessional individuals who need to be properly re-briefed as to their responsibilities as professional airline pilots.
