Let there be no confusion between the service offered by LoCos and the basic regulatory requirements which apply to the entire industry, no matter about which airline one is talking.

But an airline whose crew either had woefully inadequate knowledge of Scheduled Performance requirements - or who simply chose to ignore the implications of commencing a take-off well above RTOM, even if only 1000kg above structural MTOM....?? Because that's what the AF4590 crew did - and as a result were grossly negligent, if not criminally so, from the moment of brake release, having apparently chosen to rely on luck.......
