I'm no airline pilot, I'm barely a third through my PPL but was still fairly startled by that question.
There has been some interesting points in this thread but they're still overshadowed by the question. What is V1 there for? There are 2 sides to it, one side you take off and one you don't. Thats my understanding of it anyway.
So I'm fairly shocked a question like this has been asked but still, I'm only a wannabee lol I'll leave the debate to the drivers of the rune.
