Same thing in class G except that they didn’t get the traffic on the ground, they got it on departure. At which point the option to stay on the ground was gone.
So now you're saying they did get traffic? Changing your story? Or just refraining from manipulating the facts of what actually happened to suit your agenda?
you can’t depart in to IMC and then decide to level off below LSALT or MSA because of traffic. Do you see what I’m saying?
Yes, as an IFR rated pilot I'm aware of that. Beside the fact none of what I've posted suggests that you do that.
