Simple really - not rocket science to achieve OT departures - Oh wait, yes! I helped write the manuals about 40 years ago LOL.
Is it now time to put out a call "Come back Skycare?"
I still use my Skycare suitcase straps, very unlikely any other PAX on the flight will have the same. They've now clocked up well over a million miles and are still going strong.
