So plane observers just say "our plane has speed v" when technically it should be understood as "the ground has speed v".

Basically, you are combining two models together, using twice as many equations, all to get no answers (you havent answered my question, remember?). Your approach is not very useful it seems.

It was answered in the equations I posted.  The Galilean transformation equations show reality.  If you have a clock with some other rate of time, you use a different set of Galilean transformation equations with different variables for velocity and time.  That is the correct way to do it.  If a clock in S shows light traveling at c, and a slower clock in S' shows light traveling at c, Then x=ct and x'=c(t2)'.  What I showed with the velocity transforms was that

           dx'/dt' in the Lorentz equations = dx'/d(t2)' in the Galilean transformation equations. 

But since you say that is wrong, go ahead and prove it.
