such professionals in the airlines like the crew of a bright orange and white airbus at luton on tuesday morning at about 730am who set take off power while still in the turn-around on runway 26 and consequently nearly -main wheels within 6 foot of runway edge ( skid makes to prove it ) went off the side of the runway towards the three or four aircraft waiting at A to line up?.

I would love to have heard how the "boring and non adventurous" crew explained that away to the terrified pax in the back.

Did these same professionals worry too much? no they asked to exit at C and have another go.

If thats SOP, wow.

There is no point in painting everyone with the same brush. Professionalism is up to the individual, not the name of the company. You can fly a cessna 152 and behave professionally.
