The actions to be taken with a fire warning 20 knots before v1 are pretty clear. If they’re not taken as they’re laid out in the RTO manoeuvre ( as in your example) then we’re in uncharted waters and I guess you’re going to have to go with your instinct at the the time and deal with with the wash up later. My point is there is no time for a consultation and team meeting at that point. The decision to stop/go is therefore delegated to 1 person and 1 person only for that reason. That’s why I disagree with your statement that it’s a “joint decision” to go flying.
