MEL
[Flight] was released with MEL - main gear uplock springs. This required a speed restriction of 270K/M82 that [computer software] complied with on the release. However; after takeoff; crew sent the following message;WITH MELXX32D IT HAS US AT 270/.82 CORRECT.... AT OUR CURRENT WT WE HAVE TO FLY AT 280KTS TO STAY ABOVE STALL BAR. THIS OPS RESTRICTION CAN NOT B COMPLYED W/ AT OUR WEIGHT.I advised the Dispatch chief of this issue. Obviously the flight will maintain a safe speed while enroute; regardless of the MEL requirements. Sabre programming should review the weight/performance issues with this MEL.
An air carrier Dispatcher reported a flight was dispatched with an MEL mandating a speed restriction that the crew could not comply with.
