Just to clearify for everyone, despite what the little idiot said in the
media lately, runway overruns that damage aircraft DO NOT happen
quite often at QR or any airline for that matter.

That level of repeated incompetence is saved strictly for the highest
office in the company.
Not only in his company. There was that recent and famous response by the flight safety team of a company a bit further south, when a skipper raised concern about flying over the Sinai region. He said that it's nice to be reminded to fly above FL 250, but what about maintaining this when you have a engine failure with a heavy twin?
The response was: What are the chances that you lose an engine right over that region!!!

Why on earth do we even bother making TO calculations, because what are the chances we lose a donkey on TO roll???

The ME aviation sometimes reminds me of a bad reality show. The protagonists are as stupid as s#!t, but the still seem to make a lot of money .....
