Hate to be a debbie downer, but she should, and will probably win too!
B6 pilots got some carpet dancing to do...the area he/she began his/her takeoff roll is clearly marked with yellow chevrons. Not a displaced threshold. HERE is a better pic of the area.
Having the name on the plane, coupled with everyone having video cameras makes it impossible to be incognito anymore.
The chevrons are behind him, there was absolutely nothing wrong with what they did. Nothing. The Air France tail in your picture is also over a chevron, that is SOP in St. Maarten.
