We investigate the evolution of Tollmien-Schlichting waves in boundary layers in the presence of moderate buoyancy arising from the heating or cooling of a compliant wall. We exploit the multi-deck structure of the flow in the limit of large Reynolds numbers to make an asymptotic analysis of the pertubed flow, along the upper-branch of the neutral stability curve, to derive linear neutral results. These results are discussed and are compared to rigid wall results. Also, a brief parametric study, based on the linear neutral results, is presented and the results are discussed.
