Not according to runway analysis data specific for runway and airport; and not according to demonstrated 3-engine airplane climb performance. Or are you from the new school of "experienced captains" who individualize procedures and make their own rules for aborting the takeoff after V1?
Neither Mr. Glueball...They had the wrong level-off altitude on the card..

If they talked to u then I assume u didn't have to "hear"?

Yeah, bad grammar on my part.
It should say: I was asked to not write stuff in the book. As in heard with with my own ears....Not just rumors.

Hey, all I know is crews have refused to take the aircraft because they didn't have any catering!
TDX did dispatch a 3 leg all nighter, 14 hour duty day trip without catering.
Instead we were promised we would be catered down line. That did not happen so we were a bunch of hungry and cranky guys back in the MIA the next day.

Per either Pratt or FAA supervised company mx policy, + three compressor stall write ups = mandatory engine change / overhaul.
Yeah, we went through a few engines back then as compressor stalls was almost a daily occurence. Both during high altitude take offs such as Bogota and Quito, and stalls during reverse on landing @ sea-level, etc.
