There was no mention of leaning for the vastly increased DA either, not that it was relevant to the ATo's actions but it would make a big difference to the actual take off performance and maybe better speed and then one less layer in the swiss cheese removed.
And why ohh why was a Best Angle speed used anyway? That was dumb too unless there was some REALLY good reason, and with such a high DA any good reason to NEED the Vx climb would have been enough to say....no, we are not doing it.
At the risk of being accused of advertising again, this demonstrates why my posting these links is relevant.
