Go-Fly: one more minute than most?
Heard today at GLA a Go 737 (GO 344) tell ATC that they needed 3 minutes for a departure behind a heavy type (B767).
ATC queried if that was company policy. There was a long pause and the pilot said, "er yes."
The question is, is that really Go policy or was it either a Captain being over cautious or a mistake made on the radio but not owned up to.
It could have caused a go around if ATC were expecting a two minute wait like most others. Luckily it didn't.
