However, not really sure the PF (pilot flying) was worried about an overrun. Runway 4 is 7,000 feet long which is plenty of room for a 737. Hell, I used to watch WN 737's land on runway 17 at the old Austin Mueller airport. That runway was only 5,000 feet long.
Or Key West at 4,800' where I flew WN into a few months ago, a fully packed Devolve plane with water on both ends. I loved it being a pilot who flew a Cessna into there a few years ago but my daughter was nervous at the full power up before take off (with the brakes on).
