A quick question, my Airbus pilot neighbor last night said their airline says their UAS checklist says 5 degrees nose up and climb power as a memory item at higher altitudes. I disagreed and said if you are at FL350 and are too heavy to climb how can you do this because airspeed goes TU? Especially in RVSM airspace.

He called me a retard and left because I would have maintained altitude with cruise power and not followed his airlines checklist. Am I missing something??? I chose not to fly the Airbus but RVSM airspace doesn't care what airplane you fly they just want separation in my opinion. Now I have two airline pilots against me so need other points of view please.
