If ATC orders to stop, even with engines still spooling up, the Captain will call “stop” and take controls. As said earlier on, it is quite likely and normal that at this stage the FO will reduce instinctively the thrust levers.
As You very respectfully like to say “not terribly complicated to understand”.
For RTO, follow your procedures. What standard procedures apply might vary. Are you going full reverse thrust at 10 kts GS? Are you just doing rote actions or are you able to adapt to changing conditions?
A ‘stop’ call. Stop the airplane? Stop adding thrust? My carrier has noted the need for verbalization of a change of control. “I have the aircraft” is the verbiage.
Do you fly for a European operator/airline?
