Why couldn't you call the RTO? Don't tell me captain decides whether you abort or not...

Mooney you must be flying with a lot of brand new 500 hour wonder FOs
Actually at the time bomb I was flying with alot.
Are you saying both are off 20-30 kts? Crosscheck with the ISIS to see which one is correct. If one says 100 one says 80 and the other 120 by all means abort if you want to. but personally if it's me and 2 read 120 and one reads zero or 160 or whatever I'm most likely continuing.

And yes CA calls the abort it started about 7 years ago
