Narrative:
On takeoff from 26L behind an airbus A319; at about 50-100 ft and V2+15; we encountered a wake turbulence event. We were cleared to takeoff as the previous aircraft was just about rotating. The takeoff was normal; with normal pitch rate and speed. The aircraft buffeted; rolled left and right about 10 to 15 degrees; and stick shaker activated for about 1 second. The ca was PF and countered the rolling motion with the flight controls; lowered the nose and increased thrust to decrease the aoa. The event lasted only a few seconds and we returned to the normal takeoff profile.undesired aircraft state was the stick shaker at an altitude of about 50-100 ft; a rolling motion; and buffet. This is the third time I have experienced this same exact event behind an A319/320. I do not recall if I filed an as soon as possible or not. In all three cases; the sequence and type of events were identical. It seems that the A319/320 creates an unusual and/or significant wake turbulence. I believe the FAA needs to review the wake created by the A319/320. I also believe that the FAA should review the separation criteria for aircraft departing behind it. I view this as a significant safety issue and it should be reviewed by both the company and the FAA.
