My airline taught things in the sim I wouldn't do in the airplane. To me it was negative training to pass the sim check but not what I would do in a real airplane. One example is what would you do if you are approaching V1 and the wind causes a stagnation in acceleration at Reno with a 10 knot tailwind. Sim answer, abort. I have had it happen several times and knew I was past real V1 without the windshift so continued knowing I could add a notch of flaps if I was running out of runway. As long as nothing bad happens you continue to retirement. If you do it their way you run off the end of the runway in a high speed abort. You decide.

Remember the crew of the DC10 at ORD that followed company procedures after the engine fell off and legally crashed and killed all onboard following FAA and company procedures slowing to V2?
