GREEN DOT SPEED (AIRBUS)

........flying below green dot clean, close to the ground..while reducing any margin for error with my family on board is negligent.
Tail Rota: What a load of CRAP! Who taught you that dumb statement? He/She Lied!!
Go look in your Airbus Bible Volume 3 at the definition of GD speed. Damn EVERY time you take off and select Flap 0 guess what... you're BELOW GREEN DOT SPEED! Do you consider that "NEGLIGENT"?
No of course not, otherwise you would fly Flap 1 until a ball-hair below 20 000' (high enough for your family) and then clean it up, but that would just be plain STUPID.

so what if you can do it....I know its ok to do it .....but give me one good reason to do it in the first place.....
Give me one not to... If you need to do it - just do it.
