Neither did I until I got the tap on the shoulder from TC on a monitored ride in the sim to shut it down for the two guys up front. This was after they continued off the runway and over the infield while trying to accelerate to VBROC on a sketchy low vis departure. They were struggling but still under 10 degrees and visual with the surface. TC had seen enough when the windsock went zipping by the aircraft. “Safety Compromised” was the official language they used in the debriefing. The guys never disagreed and never went to the tribunal. Interesting there’s a difference in standards at the top level. TC’s argument made perfect sense to me after the fact at the time.
