Ehm, I was not advocating what the electronics commanded but to follow what the chart and hence the legal requirement was - climb to 2000 AMSL and turn left - not difficult and should have been part of the PF's rehearsal prior to brakes off. Which was in fact what the FDS would have commanded. However, the refresh rate of the MAGENTA was so slow, they extended to follow it and did NOT follow the SID. And not just one, but many. Even Thai and our mainland brethren were getting it correct. Made me feel proud to be part of the show...
