If I see some artifacts of a plane in front when I respawn I just sit and wait, have not crashed since, but have been taken out there sometimes.

If there is an immediate crash then that is in Z's area in queuing the new re-entrants without collision, especially as sometimes there is hesitation by the new entrant to take off.

Ditto to iQQi. Also, throttle up and depart at an angle (10-30 degrees left or right of centerline) usually gets me out okay. Sometimes I get run down by an anxious team mate, but usually not.

Maybe spawning in a general area rather than on the aproach end of the runway would reduce/eliminate spawn collisions and make spawnkilling harder? I think spawnkilling is BS.

YMMV!
