I am not a pilot, but here some very fundamental rules of flying a plane have been broken and from my point of view I can't classify this as a simple error. The crucial job of the crew planning/taking off is to a) calculate the decision points (speeds, distances) at which they have to decide to take off or not b) monitor speed and progress along the runway c) abort if they can't take off safely before the decision point What they did suggests to me a complete breakdown of discipline and process in the cockpit. The autopilot settings have absolutely nothing to do with it.
