Yeah, you'll probably talk to the chief pilot, but you won't lose your job.
Nah, I'll just reset the flaps at 100kts., then abort because of a caution, running off the end and nearly killing everyone on-board.
Really? I guess people just panic, and these ideas sound good.
Good luck fellas, but I think your both screwed.
Funny thing is I had a captain brief that one time. In summary, he was more scared of a chief pilot meeting for an abort due to a neglected checklist item, than a meeting with the NTSB after killing 50 peeps.
"If we get a config warning we will correct it on the roll. Aborts are too much paperwork and meetings."
