If your not a pilot then I suggest trawling through the tech log section and reading about balanced field take offs/flex take offs and intersection departures. Other keywords you will find of interest will be accelerate stop distance available or ASDA and TODA. Lots of light reading for the uninitiated that will hopefully enlighten you as to how commercial aircraft can expedite departure from an intersection and safely get airborne.
