CLB power greater than TO power

Hello,

My question is: On either a NADP 1 or 2 departure, would it be acceptable to use a CLB thrust greater than the TO thrust, even though it is stated "This procedure involves a power reduction at or above the prescribed minimum altitude and delaying flap/slat retraction until the prescribed maximum altitude is attained." which leads to me think that a power reduction is necessary?

Also, as far as I'm aware some airlines, such as SWA never derate their climb (?), which would mean that if they derate their TO thrust a bit, CLB power will inevitably be greater than TO thrust, so how is that allowable if my first statement is valid?

Thanks in advance!
