Sweeping, emotive statement not based in reality. It most certainly IS a rule according to the Ops Manual I am LEGALLY REQUIRED to operate in accordance with. As Captain, I do have the right to work outside the laid down procedures if it is necessary, but that means something has happened so that I CAN'T continue the takeoff, not that I don't fell like it! In your many guises you continually tell us your judgement is superior to the rulemakers, aircraft manufacturers and procedure designers whose job it is to give us data and procedures to safley fly.
No wonder you didn't get past those airline interviews.
A trifle quick on the retort aren't we
You can express your own statements quite nicely and they will stand on their own. But please don't mess with mine, I'll be happy to back mine up anytime I feel it's necessary.
If it makes you feel any better I agree with what you said, but I do not retract my statements.
