Time from cadet to command in RYR - 3000 hours , or just about 3 years.....
Maybe nothing to do with it in this case, but a lot of the guys in the LHS are still relatively inexperienced in all aspects of the operation .....
There is no quick substitute for experience, airmanship etc, it is simply a factor of
time, no matter how well one jumps through the hoops etc.
It's not tricky to watch out of the window to ensure that all ground equipment and personnel are clear.
I rest my case !
