Potential Chief Pilot for a new airline LHS.
Our Flight Manager in RHS.
Runway not limiting.
"Engine fire warning" before V1
Potential Chief Pilot... Did nothing... Said nothing...
Our Flight Manager...closed the throttles and used the brakes.
Potential Chief Pilot was sent home.
(Some may have felt embarrassed for him or even pity. His new airline has good standards with someone else as their first Chief Pilot.)
At the time the Pilot in LHS should have initiated closing the throttles, to give a tactile indication of his intentions, just in case his words alone might be mistaken. He would have a hand just forward of the throttles until V1, ready if necessary, to reduce power.

Reason: throttles
