MinesaGrolsch,
Thanks for that insight into the shortcomings of Hong Kong ATC. I am a bit surprised that none of the other 54 (yes 54) aircraft on frequency at the time (also after start clearances) haven't seen fit to complain about the abysmal standard.
Judging by your accent you were the guy who bitched severly about having to wait for a parking spot when you arrived.
Perhaps if some of you guys weren't so chicken and were prepared to take off with 50+ kts x-wind then the problems would never have occurred.
