airline pilots are taught that all planes fly after V1

While there might be a certain familiarity to the style of the last post, I think that the above comment is a tad in the throw away line department.

I think it more probable that reputable airlines emphasise the benefits of SOP whilst giving enough information for line pilots to exercise a modicum of discretion.

I recall a line check on the B727 years ago as a young sprog wherein at the debrief the very wise greybeard checkie observed "John, always keep in mind the invisible ink writing on page two of the Ops Manual - To Be Read With a Bit of Commonsense "
