for info , the SW PNF acknowledged the part of the clearance about the 76 3 NM out as
he replied “ copied the traffic”, indeed why they did not act on it and took over a ninute to start is the first question But why they did not advise the controller they needed more time than thought when accepting the line up claerance is another one.
