Actually (at least on the NG) Boeing DOES allow (albeit implied, not explicit) a reject for something such as T/R:
The criteria in my company's manuals:
- engine fail
- engine fire
- predictive windshear
- if the aircraft is insafe, or unable, to fly.
Suspect T/R deployed would comfortably fit the last, of course more than happy for the techies to provide how successfully an aircraft will take-off and climb (or not) with a T/R deployed.
Would be interesting to ask those who have been there (maybe the Lauda boys??) what a real T/R deployment does to an aircraft - oops, sorry, they're too busy looking for another job.
Call me crazy but I go to work each day not worrying about whether I'll need to start looking for another job tomorrow but hoping to marry my training with a fair amount of commonsense regards what's happening around me in the real environment, not a simulator solely or the thoughts of the multitudes on Pprune and similar.
Partly to safeguard the aircraft and all the souls within, mainly to minimise all those pesky "reports to the company" you have to write when things don't quite line up as expected.
Cheers.
