Since you went back to the original thread if you read the posts you will realise that those are not all from Airbus pilots. It is a mix bag neither all are of them are from their own experience either. Somebody says good idea somebody say bad idea another says it's settled. I quoted A320 official document and before it went in there Airbus gave elaborate presentation about the issue. I don't think anybody carefully read what it say. It just says to leave everything as it is and select lower speed. This what busav8r, Oscar Yankee said and you support it and yet you disagree because Airbus procedure says same thing. Your opposition is perhaps to use of speed brake. That comes when things have gotten worse and recovery procedure is required. We are faceless entities can say anything to each other doesn't prove a thing so don't so condescendingly include yourself in a threatened specie no grant would be forthcoming for your conservation.
no need to get personal ...

I might have gotten a little personal if i read complete nonsense, sorry for that, but it is after all a pp forum..
Pretending that speedbrakes do not destroy lift is such nonsense. Why on earth would the red/black tape jump up when you deploy them, if not for loss of lift and by the way, we call these devices spoiler as well. They spoil what exactly?

Condescending or not, its the recipient who decides. Anyway, it is by far not only an Airbus matter, some experienced contributors here include Boeing as well, as their speedbrake logic is not beyond doubt, especially for such manoevers we discuss. But keep on adopting everything that is in the books, that makes you just the same faceless entity and no grant would be forthcoming for anyone who religiously follows sop into an incident, believe me.
Never stop expecting the unexpected
