Narrative:
We announced our taxi intentions to taxi to runway 20. An small transport jet was parked on the ramp awaiting passengers. After taxiing to 20 and our runup, the light transport announced 'taxi to 02'. Thinking he was starting to taxi to runway 02 we announced departing 20 and received no reply. A taxiing onto the runway and applying power, a pilot in a 3RD plane announced 2 aircraft departing the same runway. After noticing a vertical fin and exhaust smoke at the opposite end of the 6500' runway, I immediately exited on the 1ST taxiway as the small transport passed over us. I tried to raise the small transport on the CTAF but got no reply. I feel the small transport was at fault for not utilizing proper communications.

Title: SMA AND SMT TKOF IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS AT UNCONTROLLED ARPT. POTENTIAL CONFLICT.
Narrative: WE ANNOUNCED OUR TAXI INTENTIONS TO TAXI TO RWY 20. AN SMT JET WAS PARKED ON THE RAMP AWAITING PASSENGERS. AFTER TAXIING TO 20 AND OUR RUNUP, THE LTT ANNOUNCED 'TAXI TO 02'. THINKING HE WAS STARTING TO TAXI TO RWY 02 WE ANNOUNCED DEPARTING 20 AND RECEIVED NO REPLY. A TAXIING ONTO THE RWY AND APPLYING POWER, A PLT IN A 3RD PLANE ANNOUNCED 2 ACFT DEPARTING THE SAME RWY. AFTER NOTICING A VERTICAL FIN AND EXHAUST SMOKE AT THE OPPOSITE END OF THE 6500' RWY, I IMMEDIATELY EXITED ON THE 1ST TAXIWAY AS THE SMT PASSED OVER US. I TRIED TO RAISE THE SMT ON THE CTAF BUT GOT NO REPLY. I FEEL THE SMT WAS AT FAULT FOR NOT UTILIZING PROPER COMMUNICATIONS.
