NO intersection, NO flex takeoff in LVO, well that's something new. I most certainly disagree with that.
It was my previous airline SOP during LVP T/0(when rvr between 400 and 125 M).
Have you ever asked for an intersection take off during LVP?
Some may argue that in low vis all aircraft taking off from the same point is a safer as it surely reduces the threat of runway incursion in areas in front of departing traffic...wouldnt you think?
Some may also argue that the use of full thrust may be safer as one would get airborne earlier and hence spend less time with limited vision(possibly nil if thicker fog) where one vision is the biggest clue to achieve a safe take off roll.
