I aborted at 90 knots once and it was per the carriers policy of 100 knots being the high speed regime. It went fine and we stopped in plenty of time. I wrote up the malfunction and the flight cancelled. I was later advised that I should not have aborted and that it was a nuisance message. There is no winning in the situation because the flight cancelled and was investigated by flight ops and maintenance. The monday morning quarterback concluded that I should have continued even though it was policy to abort. That taught me to just do what I thought was safest because someone WILL have a contrary opinion, whether that person is evaluating your performance is a crapshoot.

and ultimately the responsibility will fall back on the CA which is why having the FO make the decision is not wise.

The ops pinheads will always try to push boundaries to try to keep the schedule. Our job is to ignore the noise and focus on safety. Who cares if they call. You never had any repercussions other than an annoying call, I assume? They know anything other than sharing their (unwanted) opinion will get them in hot water with the FAA for pilot pushing. ALPA will stop the nonsense too, if they chose to press to test.

They don't do jeopardy events. But do most everything else.
I'll see what I get in my 0500 brief for CQ tomorrow.
Side note. After I retire, my butt ain't getting up for anything that requires me to be up in time to drive somewhere for a 5am anything.
