FMS warning for non-aligned takeoff?

[Trash8Mofo]

I have never flown the CRJ, but I doubt that even at the very lightest weight, a 3500ft strip would satisfy any balance field length requirment. So, with almost 11yrs worth of experience among the flight crew, one of them should have said "Darn....I've never seen a runway this short before!" And proceeded to check the EHSI. Yet............

I'm seeing a lot of the "invincible" hazardous attitude in this thread. If there is a safety system that would make me safer, sign me up.

I'd like to offer up some alternative solutions:

STOL Capable RJs
More Vigilant Tower Controllers
Pilot Safe Runway Layouts
OR Just leave the runway thing out and...
Switch over to helicopters
