De Facto why sigh, sigh, sigh? It's a legitimate way!
And if you're questioning my mental arithmetic, question your own first.
6 minutes, 1500 FPM, 9000 Feet to be lost. The penny will drop.
Utrinque, it wasn't an attempt at a bite. I have only had TA ( no RAs) from Ryanair aircraft. No other airline has caused them within my experience. I did end by saying 'I'm sure they (implying the pilots and circumstances at the time) were the exception not the rule'. I also said SOME not all. It's always been around BCN and PMI too for what it's worth! We all make mistakes and lose situational awareness. Especially us over worked LoCo operators. I'm not claiming some violation or lack of understanding. Relax!
