Hang on, in your airline does the FO make the stop decision when they are PF or PM? Or is it both?
Clearly others feel less happy about their empoyer's selection, training and/or the qualities of those sitting next to them. I couldn't possibly comment about that, but I suspect it is THAT which would attract the attention of any ambulance chasing lawyers.
I don't think it's about this. If the FO is to execute aborts then obviously they'd be trained to do so. It is more about who has ultimate responsibility for the safety of the flight. If the FO is allowed to close the thrust levers and apply the brakes at V1 then they are de facto in command at that point because even if the captain disagreed there is no opportunity to over-ride the decision.
