Generally speaking, in the big airplane world a high speed abort is much more dangerous than taking an airplane into the air with a problem. There are certain circumstances where the airplane won't fly so the abort is called for. The question is is this one of those instances. More information is called for.

Military TOLD always includes a refusal speed. On dry runways that is generally higher than rotate which is usually go speed. Above rotate/go speed and below refusal you can still abort by the end of the runway. You might burn up the brakes and blow the fuse plugs but you will stop. I am still trying to wrap my head around civilian TOLD. V1 seems to be close to CEFS. I am still just concentrating on calling out the right things at the right time!

So to answer your question, it would depend on the scenario. Is it a small/big airplane? What runway and where? Obst? What kind of windshear, ie micro burst? What is the weather? Hopefully the interview question fleshed some of those questions out when posed to you.

All that being said, if you were close to V1 I wold stop and pray I wasn't at Guam.
