I'm afraid that your assumptions about the tolerances of overweight takeoffs do not apply to large delta wing supersonic transports.

The Captain is on the tape knowingly acknowledging that his aircraft is overweight for both the planned and also the unexpected tailwind takeoff case. He was in possession of all of the facts to enable him to make a safe decision and yet he conciously chose to ignore them.

Had I ever flown with you I would have been very seriously concerened over your attitude to aircraft limitations, but it would appear that we are unlikely ever to do so in the future. "Sabenapilot"
