Ah, Wally,

If only some of THE more 'junior' pilots had a smaller ego and a bigger 'Common Sense' - formerly called 'Airmanship' ......

I have seen some 'thingis horribilis' at times - like, when a BN2 guy taxied out after the 737, and the 73 goes to the E or 'Town' end, a short taxi to turn around and 'go', - then finds he has to spend time WAITING for a silly (read STOOPID, inconsiderate) BN2 guy, roll, take-off, climb at his 65 kts or whatever,- and CONTINUE to climb thru to 1,500ft so HE can do a right hand turn to HIS track....meanwhile....the 73 is sitting, waiting, burning fuel,....

Even a BIG hint on the radio that there was NO TRAFFIC for a 'Non Standard' Right turn @500ft turn did not get to this guy!
(The Fast Mover to PH turns LEFT to intercept the 200deg Tr outbound..)

In OUR era, if WE were flying the BN2, we would see the 73 get away quickly, and then we would T/O & climb well before his rotate point (easily done) to avoid his Wake Turb, followed by the 'normal' Left turn @ 500ft to let everybody else go.....

Nothing actually Illegal in this, but.........."AIRMANSHIP".....

And the 210 'Ace' who did not wait for a traffic statement, did not look, entered the rwy at a 'good pace' and caused an acft - one of his 'mates' - on FINAL some concern...

Ah, yes! With a bit of Common Sense- it could all be so
E A S Y ....
