misd again

1.It was a ferry so unlikely to be heavy.
2. the a/c can easily climb to FL 410
3. Even if the above 2 don't apply, once the a/c picks up a bit of speed the manoevre is easily accomplished.

The Emraer is unusual in that it CAN take off at MTOW and climb straight up to FL370.

Our company advice is firm. Even at max cert alt (FL370)
FOLLOW THE TCAS!

I don't even wish to hint at not following it. All doubt was removed after the terrible Swiss MAC.
