We don't call it anything, as such, though we do speak of 'reducing'. The annunciation at the Thrust Mode Panel is R-TO, and this is what could be confusing.

My general point is that European manufacturers are better than Boeing at designing to avoid confusion at the human interface. I'm sure it's because they have put more thought into it.

Just pondering the consequences of a mis-understanding between crew members involving the spoken phrase 'rto' about the time of take-off..... Does it mean 'we need to stop', or 'the autobrake isn't set to RTO' or 'there's a problem with the thrust setting'? I'm getting into human frailty here, too, but it's a fact of life.
