I don't know... what's the likely greater danger... a fire light or an abort just below V1? That's not rhetorical, I really wonder. We've got fire bottles and you can get an airplane back on the ground within 10 minutes IMC, about half that VMC. How many fire lights are false indications? I'm not wedded to any particular course of action, I just hope what the Star Chamber comes up with is based on logic. Like the rest of us, I'll try to do what they tell me to do.
