As I've said before, I'm perfectly happy with RainingLogic bending his throttles day after day, because that's how my employer makes money on spare parts sales, and that means a better pension and dividends for me
relax relax... since neither raining logic nor the vast majority contributing such heated discussions here are bending any real throttles you will have no luck in a better pension in spare parts sale.
flexing is not an option in real life but company procedure whenever possible with pilots decision not to do when he believes he has reasons for it.
but when you make a full thrust takeoff on a situation when flex takeoff would be every day business you may have to explain why you decided to do this.
best regards
