Should result in a RTO but doesn’t always. Both seats chewing up time during the roll second guessing themselves and asking questions. Waiting for V1 which never arrives. Now stuck in the sad and dangerous situation, either High Speed abort (V1 no idea which side) or take it into the air. Many have done this, Malaysian did the same, although even more problematic is they had Captain who had just moved over from a career from the Boeing, who relied on the FO to get it back in.
Airspeed alive goes back the Cessna 172. Airbus no different.
