I find generally even experienced pilots are backwards in coming forwards, when they need to be a little more assertive to work out what’s going to happen .
Yeah, I cross posted the Youtube comment to the thread in Bizjets subforum as well and added that I felt the Vista crew might not have been aware completely what consequences the VFR departure would have for them. I skipped through a ground freq. feed and did clearly hear Vista ask for 32L due performance but don't think I went back far enough to to hear the actual clearance discussion.
Seems like all parties involved could have done better here, as is usually the case.
