At the airline you fly at do the FOs perform the aborts? I ask because at many airlines it is the captains call and also he/she who performs the abort procedure.
Additionally, you fly a pretty modern aircraft, does the plane inhibit many of the warnings at high speeds? I know my aircraft inhibits certain messages at V1 minus a certain speed.
Have you ever had a spurious message go off above 80kts? I've had a bag door indication before V1 and continued. Aborting at 115kts would have been much riskier than continuing. In my head it wasn't a difficult choice because it didn't fall into a fire, power loss, directional control issue. I looked, the message wasn't one of those, I said "Continue" and that was it.
Sorry, I guess I'm just thinking that if someone briefed me that they're going to abort for anything below V1, we'd chat about it. There are just too many runways where we'd be aborting with a few thousand feet remaining for non emergency items that would be easily handled airborne.
