It is the one thing we enough off in the world

I'm only quoting from the "Air Navigatino Order" which is part of UK air law!!! But don't you think chucking pax off one by one to achieve a safe C of G landing weight is the best idea  8-)
It's the most effective method!!!!

LOL The UK Air Navigation Order is the "Hitler" of the skies.  It quotes phrases like "no flying object or creature" etc etc blah blah and can be interpreted to mean that!!! ie  bees, flies butterflies birds etc have to comply with the regulations as well as humans. Technically a swarm of bees can be prosecuted for not filing for special VFR when they swarm or not maintaining radio contact!!!!!

Probably. Yet a hypothetical captain that tried to interpret the rules in such a draconian way, the same way you you jokingly did, would not avoid prison for long... well, unless he had friends in the government, but that's another story.

Interpretation only gets you that much far.

I just landed a lightly loaded 737 into KSEA using flaps 30. VREF was 131 knots, I would think that 138 knots for a MLOW 737 would be perfectly fine.

Rotation speed on that flight was about 135 knots I think. I do know that anything above 145 knots would be to high for a 737.

Yeah, i landed it a few days ago at roughly 135/140 indicated, worked like a charm and it nailed itself almost on the ILS with little corrections to be made from me, and when having a 80% load with a 50% feul then 40 flaps is a little too much, she struggles down.
