Does anyone here fly for an operator that includes an RPG Attack checklist in their QRH? I cannot find one in anywhere.
Actually we do

a very rare condition that only lives in the world people who run derated/assumed thrust or people who routinely fly jets, heavy, in and out of short runways....
Not rare at all, even on a 10,000 ft runway with no Derate/Flex, we routinely operate 747's that are limited by the 115% all engine capabilities. When you also consider that they have steel brakes, there is NO WAY that they are stopping on the runway if they consider V1 to be a DECISION SPEED rather than an ACTION SPEED, if they overrun one of our least favorite runways, the drainage ditch will rapidly remove the undercarriage.

Your argument may be valid on light jets operating on long runways, but in an airline environment, forget it.

As for the statistics regarding RTO's between 1960-1990, ask yourself what type of aircraft were operating in that era, what was the level of technology.

Finally, just admit that you are SSG come back to haunt us.......
