I don’t necessarily agree with everything MOP has said, but it’s certainly added insight to the conversation.
I don’t think our way, or any way, is the best. I think it’s what we do because it’s policy and/or procedure. I also don’t think it’s going to change anytime soon, if ever, and that change won’t be driven by a discussion on APC.
If we’re all just here to talk about how other airlines do rejected takeoffs or aborts that’s cool, and I apologize for interrupting the exchange of information. I’ll keep doing it the way Delta wants me to do it. Not because it’s the best way, but because it enhances job security. The very reason this thread wandered into this territory was because people were/are uncomfortable or unhappy with the nonstandardization of a boilerplate rejected takeoff. I’m not sure if introducing even more variables (ie how folks at UAL or AAL or Mesa or MSFS or whoever do it) into the event is helpful.
