Pilots that push limits are stupid pilots. A good pilot is trained to go up to the limit (military) or to not go near them (civilian) unless under specific circumstances.

Again, you have no idea what you are talking about. Only a STUPID pilot would think that going to the manufacturer's max altitude on a day when they can maintain 1.3 gs would think that it is "pushing the limits". Geez. You have no idea how many commercial aircraft you have been on that were flying at the publish max altitude - or in your mind, "pushing the limits".

Pukin Dog is a retired Navy fighter pilot and now a civilian air captain. He might be wrong, but he does know what he's talking about.

It never fails to crack me up when folks like you assume I don't know what I'm talking about.
