We only have one short clip of the recording. We have no idea of the timing of this discussion. Was it in the beginning, was it at the very point of turn, was there any contact with the FJ etc.
What if, after this exchange, the RYR was contacted by atc/FJ and the recommendation was repeated with weight?
All I hear is that the crew asks who made the recommendation and ATC says they did. What happened next?
I would NOT go into distances with children of the magenta line as no one knows the entire story.
