Yeah, we probably know each other then. There's 'modification of procedures' and there's 'rewriting the book to include procedures that are explicitly contrary to the manufacturers recommendations and good common sense, and which actually constitute a danger to flight'. If you're an Aussie and you judge ability by the standards of the morons who wrote that SOP - it's yourself who should avoid glass houses. But I'm sure you're happy in a NitPicker Company like CX.
By the way, regarding the RTOW millibar tolerance question - the simple answer is go TOGA. What's so bloody difficult about that.
Oh - the NitPicker won't like it I'm sure. He'd rather go to the back of the 2 hour queue again in JFK - inevitably canceling the flight.
Seriously, with people like this around its surprising CX ever gets one airborne.
