Everyone keeps mentioning 80 knots like it's some industry wide magic figure. I remember this figure from my Boeing days, but on Airbus the 'cut-off' figure is 100 knots. It seems to me that for commonality's sake, the industry should use one cut-off figure, one standard.

Somebody mentioned that they (would) shout "Abort". Again, for commonality, this was replaced by "Stop", on both fleets, long ago. "Overshoot" replaced by "Go-Around" etc.
