Bottom line you can't fly all problems into the air at V1 like they would have you believe...so it's nice to have some runway ahead in the event you don't have a flyable plane.
If you don't get this then the chief pilot did his job...getting everyone to not think, a GO mentality, standardization is key, no lose cannons, no independent thinkers, and enough insurance to cover the Concords and GOAs that should have been stopped on the runway...but hey....that would have meant hiring pilots that could make a decision...nope we can't have that....better to crash a few planes that couldn't fly then hire guys that might stop a plane and put it into the weeds once in a while....or whatever they are thinking.....
Funny, when did max take off power become dangerous.?
The manufacturer has derated the engines so far anyway for normal ops to pretty much guarantee that they will go double typical standard overhaul times....
Anyway...watch what happens when the FAA stops 'on condition' determination of engine wear....all of a sudden you guys will flip flop around to 'better to get it off early'....just like you flip flopped on CRM, or hiring kids instead of pilots....
Always fun to come here and talk to guys that don't think....
