Read two crews fired over this.
Fair or Unfair?

Accepting an intersection departure without computing the numbers on the big iron like that is foolish at best.
That being said statistics prove rejecting a takeoff at V1 on a tight runway can be catastrophic.
Here is a textbook engine failure on the takeoff roll, I don't know how close to V1 they were but well done to the crew.

RUDDER PEDALS!

Well done?
But they must have "four bars"!!
Doesnt that mean they suck by definition?

At my previous Airline they tried to take-off from an intersection without the appropriate performance chart.

They (just) got away with it - pictures show a very late rotation.
Company policy encouraged intersection take-offs without issuing any guidance about when not to do them.

Is it April 1st already?!
Sorry, I don't believe the absence of micro-management.

It's Asia - learning is done by rote. [b]If it's not in the books they don't know[/b]. Most people were in management because they didn't like flying not because they were any good at their jobs (and believe me - they weren't!).
This procedure was designed to save fuel - they also introduced landing with reduced flap at the same time (again no guidance).
I met up with the team who did the IOSA audit in 2012 (one of them is a friend) and their telling comment:- [b]"They don't know what they don't know"
