But to the initial question: If you are going to exceed Vne in a dive, you
can chose between putting your joker on a good spacing between Vne and
flutter speed, or put your joker on a pessimistic design margin and a well
crafted serial number. There is actually no way to tell the answer
beforehand.

But pulling the airbrakes would be fairly suicidal.


I suppose you meant "pulling the airbrakes while pulling too hard" ???

As Eric noticed it, the allowed G-loading at VNE in ASH26 (for example)
is 4 G without airbrakes, and a very close 3.5 G with airbrakes.

Thus in most cases it will be *safer* to pull airbrakes (including close
to the ground, if the dive angle is high).
