Can someone just explain for me please:

It's 06:08 when Maeve clears BA825 to "line up AND WAIT." prior to that, she's just blathering on about an a/c behind him who may (or may not?) be ready. So until that point, he isn't occupying the runway.

At 07:43 he departs. Would have been earlier except for the numerous lengthy lectures he receives from 'motormouth' WHILST HE IS LINING UP!

Two things occur to me: Firstly that's appalling controlling. Secondly: Even accepting that this is DUB, and very odd things happen there, two go-arounds in such a period is just a lie, isn't it!
