iceman50,
I am not a liar. See the picture taken after-landing, with HYDs de-pressurized.
I don't know if you are a pilot, but I am sure you're also a pen-pusher. You know all the

numbers by heart.
Somebody here defined very well that sort of guys, many moons ago.
An aircraft taking-off with a spoiler out will need more attitude (and AoA) to compensate for the lost Lift, especially when crossing the 200kts automatic flap up sequence.
Does it ring a bell?
(No, I didn't clean-up before S Speed. Yes we did have a blinkering Alpha Lock during slat/flap retraction.)
Now I understand why you don't care about stick feedback...
(...but I really don't care. I'm tired of this stupid argumentation. You didn't even care to notice the safety design issue here, of a system that may blow out a substantial part of your performance "camouflaged" by the FBW. Your approach was to, first, denigrate the aviator before he wins any point with his story. So be it. Stick with your beliefs. I'll stick with mine).
