Pre-takeoff checklist
I know landing spacing has been discussed here before, but what about departures? This morning Denver was launching traffic so fast, they were clearing airplanes to take off before the prior one reached rotation. What are the separation requirements here? We were discussing (hypothetically) how you would explain to the company that we had aborted a takeoff because the aircraft in front of us on the runway had aborted their takeoff... wouldn't look real good.
