The information on the extent of an overcast cloud layer was patently wrong, he said.
Referring to a reduction in thrust, the co-pilot calling "speed" and the triggering of a "don't sink" alarm, the pilot said he did not consider the takeoff and departure as anything other than normal.
The "don't sink" alarm was expected given a reduction in altitude, analogous to the reversing alarm on a car.
Must be a strange form of normal departure were the FO starts calling speed (because your too slow?) and the EGPWS starts calling "don't sink" because you are descending on takeoff.
