Secondly, the received wisdom is that the pitch attitude is not to exceed 20 degrees NU. The reason for this is to give you a decent opportunity to get the nose down without rapid speed loss if an engine fails and also to allow for wind sheer - it has nothing to do with comfort levels. Going beyond 20 degrees is needless and most companies' OFDM systems would be pinging off. I certainly wouldn't be happy with a colleague who did it without very good reason. Pitching higher sounds like show boating to me.
Latetonite, I'm still waiting for you to explain why you cannot recover from wind sheer or en engine failure above 20 degrees pitch.
