First off....

Defacto...

Not all pilots are equal...sorry but true.....if you think that a 200 hour FO pulling the nose up is on par with a 10,000 hour pilot pulling the nose up, because both are 'doing the numbers' ...you just don't know....

It's become such a running joke on the sims that an 'emergency' these days, is a raw data, no A/P approach...you know the same kind of approach a guy will do in a Cessna 172.....

So let's not go down the path of using some example of some African outfit, who did an over run, and busted up the plane, because I can sit here and cite example after example of guys who crashed a plane that could have been stopped, but decided to fly it to the scene of the accident instead of rolingl it there...

The simple fact of the matter is that a corporate outfit that pushed the throttles forward, then realizes a few knots past V1 that he's got a fire, looks ahead to see 8000 feet of runway, is a perfectly happy non event.....

If you want to plan a reduced thrust departure, where the balanced field is in the weeds, and thus a crash, into that road on the other side of the overrun, that's your business...whatever it takes to stretch those engines right? But it's a hard sell for those of us who didn't get our licenses yesterday to make the case that your flying safer then us....because you not..

Your purposefully putting passengers at risk by using up more runway, reducing obstacle clearance, forcing a go decision because you know a stop won't make it...then forcing the 200 hr FO on this leg to hand fly that whale with one good 25000 hour engine out there...while on fire, and putting the gear up, cleaning it up...and flying around the pattern in the soup, looking for another ILS, that will now be flown single engine..

Yeah sure....
