Narrative:
This report is to describe an event that occurred while operating flight abc on jun/sun/05. We were cleared for takeoff on runway 14L. During the takeoff roll; I noticed an aircraft on short final to runway 22R. I thought the spacing between us seemed closer than normal; but yet I knew I would clear the intersection of runway 14L and runway 22R in sufficient time. As I was already in the high speed regime; I did not know if I could stop before the intersection. In my best judgement; the safest course of action was to continue the takeoff. As I was unaware that a separation error had occurred; I did not file a report.
