Fragrant HarbourA forum for the large number of pilots (expats and locals) based with the various airlines in Hong Kong. Air Traffic Controllers are also warmly welcomed into the forum.
There seems to be a group of full time agitators within the ranks of you gainfully employed gentlemen. Agitators normaly benefit from a good dose of reality so perhaps these malcontents could try memorising a few easy numbers, ie "89" (ACMS to note ) "49" "60,000,000" "137" and "17 ". Pretty simple stuff but it just might, say again just might help register that it's not smart to poke the snake.
Wow! This should be in the "insanely weird" forum.
Speaking of snakes, did you know there has been an invasive species of snake from Singapore in Hong Kong. Extremely venemous, one bite and your airline loses $20million a month.
17 is the number of minutes separation u need with a B744 following an A343, through Bekol on a Tuesday night with a full moon. The following night will be something entirely different.
I know. Common sense like standing together and therefore empowering the AOA has been poisoned by the snake! So now we are going to confuse ourselves mathematically into a 17% payrise this year!
I just love logic. Its the one thing pilots are so good at.
Actually the best thing to do with a snake is to cut its head off...... but we'll let the US Department of Justice do that for us.......... (Perhaps 17 is the number of times one's sphincter size increases after one week in a US jail....)
Well we've done it now, the snake's woken, and bitten; No more toothpast for staff travellers. The Bean counters have finally figured out where all that profit was disappearing to- those greedy staff hoarding travel kits.
