I had a CA reject at 90kts for a generator failure on a VFR day. Why? Is that really going to affect you ability to fly?

he rejected because he geared himself to reject by briefing exactly what CX500T briefed. Which is below 100kts (low speed regime) we will reject for and master warning or caution. That’s a bad way to brief.

In just about every single situation in Aviation a pilot has time. You don’t have time durring a reject one person needs to make the decision right now there is no time to talk about it. If the FO makes that decision then so be it but the airlines and passengers will deal with the consequences.

I can say Go Around 3-4 times progesivly louder until it becomes a problem but I can’t do that with reject. United trains LCPs how to deal with a new CA that locks up durring a reject. We going to provide that training to all of our CAs?
