Rolling takeoff...? Not for me...

If I have a takeoff at a weight where limited by runway...
I line up the airplane (full length, when through that argument a couple of days ago).
No inter-sex-ion for me.
Line up, set brakes, spool up engines, start roll, full thrust as soon as possible.

What for a rolling takeoff...?
Do you like to give sideload "Gs" to your cabin tail passengers...?
So to avoid that, takes you 1,000 ft of wasted runway to get to full thrust.

I know many of you fly 737 and 320s... A 10,000 ft long runway is plenty.
You certainly have enough for rolling takeoff and do 3 touch and goes...
But, my young friends, if the runway is 5,500 feet long, hold the brakes, then spool your engines.

Better performance with rolling takeoff...? What vocabulary is that...?
Do you have radial tyres for better cornering...?

Happy contrails
