This argument seems to go on and on. I'm sorry for prolonging it. A couple of answers first.
blueskis - pitch at stall is to reduce Angle of attack, nothing to do with speed (in a 4 g manoeuvre your stalling speed will be twice the normal Vs).
Blue line - What do you do when after take-off the aircraft appears not to climb as desired at blue line? Point to where you want it to go??????????
I thought I better go and consult 'the bible'. In Australia we have what used to be called Pub 45 (I don't know it's current number). It is written by our Regulator for the guidance of Instructors. Our Regulator states "speed must be controlled with elevator and the rate of descent and thus the approach path, with throttle". Perhaps I'm a weaklings but I do as they suggest. And it has worked well for my for the last 35 years. It also works, for me into strips that are to the meter the minimum calculated. (many times I have to reduce the load to just fit). In fact I think I'd be in trouble if I used the point methodology on short strips.
I'd be interested to hear what does your Regulator suggest / require. Perhaps we are just a victim of history or geography.
