Again - you might be right talking about a normal situation, but in the scenario precipitating this massive lost comm nightmare, who can say that the system would work as advertised?
I usually tried to be pretty optimistic in my ETA anyways, plus I swear it was almost impossible to get off the deck at the scheduled takeoff time
The airlines do a much better job than I ever did!
