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?
We do low to high at 80, and magically, 80 is where the master cautions are inhibited so our master caution below 80 abort criterial has you keep going for any system failures not bad enough for a warning. Which is most anything save a fire or windshear.
Those pilots aren't "never touched an airplane" at day 1 at Airline/Air LIne.
