JT, that was a real "problem" for many operators - turning up the wick when selecting CLB from reduced TO. It upset a good many people, but it was an indicator that takeoff from a long r/w demanded less of the engine (after considering ALT & Mach) than did top of climb.
Conversely, those intimate with the engine performance cycle saw it an ideal way to run the engine; reduced TO served as a warmup period for the more stressful climb!
Good thread!
