Why would anyone with 200 pasengers in the back, intentialy choose to risk thier lives by flying right to the edge of being able to reject a flight safely?
Do I see v9.0 here?

Overunning into the wall, going off into the bay, off the cliff or into some houses doesn't seem like a fair trade off to save on some fuel.
Save on some fuel? Do I read that right? You are talking about flex/derate take offs right? Last time I checked, fuel burn wasn't the considered factor for flex/derate take offs.
