You said that the (up to) four seconds longer made a difference to you since you flew turbine aircraft. I assume that it must feel like a significant difference if you bring it up.

Since the longer delay only takes place during the first power up of an aircraft, why would that make a significant difference to you? The only way it made sense to me was my assumption that you thought it took a similar amount of time to relink if for some reason communication was lost.
