Default FAA Data?

I'd be curious to see how many NASA or ASAP reports have been filed with the FAA about this type of thing happening with other operators to see if there is a trend with certain operations. The reason I say this is because I heard that a Pinnacle Airlines CRJ did the exact same thing taking off from LSE Wisconsin a year ago from the short GA runway and nearly didn't make it. I guess the crew reported themselves using the ASAP program or something like that. It seams to me that we may be experiencing a rash of complacency issues these days in flying, and I'm wondering if it may be caused by a lack of assertiveness and experience which prevents questioning the other pilot. I'm not saying that this case was caused by inexperience, but if we are trending the question is why?

Experience makes the hair stand up on the back of the neck when things maybe don't seem right.
