However I've had many colleagues say they would because they think it's safer, up until Vr to reject and remain on ground. I tell them it's a bad idea, but I want to bring them technical arguments, other than just saying "No, it's what it says here and that's it".
If they are in the left or right seat of an airliner and still think that, it's time for a bit of change of scenery for you. Some people wouldn't accept that 1+1 is 2 even if somebody with PhD from mathematics explains them for hours on end why is that.
Write some CVs and wish them best of luck!
