Aborting a T/O

[partypilot1]

I am in an argument with another pilot at work who states (on the average) "only a captain can initiate a rejected T/O". I informed him he was mistaken and the PM or FP could call an abort and the FP would initiate the abort. In short, a captain doesn't have to approve an abort before one is initiated. I understand this is OPS specific so please include your current or prior company in your response please.
Thanks

Every company is different.

Ops Specs, or you could have a problem. I think a Korean Airline had an issue where the captain wanted to abort and the FO decided it was ok to go. There was a fight over control of the plane. Of course the outcome was fatal.

Follow the FOM- but approved or not- are you going to let a captain crash?

FOM, do what it says- are you going to let a FO crash?

I fully understand each company is different, that is why I want to know what YOUR company has to say about the subject.
Thanks

You're right. You don't want a fight at a 100kts.

I think the FAs get to act as tie-brakers. Like when the VP gets to vote when the senate ties.

Why did you delete it?

Per our company FOM- Pilot noticing calls out the problem, CA always makes the go/no go decision.
