It would seem to me that, baring a ten ton cement truck (lorry) rolling across the departure runway, that there would be absolutely NO excuse for an early rotation...come on guys...do you not actually CHECK the loadsheet info, and program accordingly????
I think you folks in the very heavy jets need a professional Flight Engineer to keep you out of the deep doggie do-do.

Professional Flight Engineer....don't leave home without one.

They CAN be a lifesaver..in the very best sense.
Would todays' airlines agree?
Ah......NO.
