United flight aborts takeoff at Phoenix airport: 'Pilot slammed on the brakes,' passenger says
Um yeah...I suppose that's part of the memory checklist.
And I thought United was ALREADY on everyone's no-fly list. I'm sure gate agents and security physically abused all the passengers and told them 1. No refund, and 2. Take the bus.
Evan, were procedures followed properly and good customer service used afterwards?

Are you questioning the "slamming on of the brakes" ? Because if you are, it was probably automatic. Auto-brake setting for take-off, RTO. Rejected take-off, all automatic and pretty hefty braking.
i've never experienced an aborted takeoff, despite having flown countless 1000's of flights. i guess i'd be pretty much taken by surprise since i'm usually deep into music and quite relaxed during takeoff. i love the acceleration. so i'd probably be thrown violently forward and may even smack my face against the seat in front of me (not tall enough to hit the bulkhead). can't say i'd be jumping for joy, but like Brian says, beats a firery ending every time.
Guys, 3WE is making fun of the article that sort of highlights in awe that the pilot applied brakes intensely during the rejected take-off.
No kidding. Next you will say that he extended the spoilers too.

When in fact he probably just retarded the thrust levers to idle. Which should probably be highlighted in awe when done above the 80/100kt call unless something very serious was going seriously wrong. No info on the type or the reason. Strange, Fox News is usually so reliable with the facts.....

And by doing so he extended the spoilers and applied brakes intensely (oh and reduced thrust too, retarding the thrust levers also does that)

Again, the braking in this situation is fully automatic. You cannot override the RTO auto-brakes. It is a great Boeing system, and has been working well for many years now. Now that I reread the avherald article I would say although I do not have brake cooling charts for that aircraft, that at least 1 hour of the 3 hour delay was for brake cooling.
