CPDUDE - my radio discipline is no better than anyone else's. I love a good laugh at a well timed one liner on the air, and I'm not averse to throwing my own witty line around now and then. My point is about the wankiness of "fully ready". The correct call is ready and saying fully ready makes not an ounce of difference to your state of readiness, ready is ready, and the correct call is a more abbreviated call. And I really don't think ATC is going to say "quick, bump him up in the queue, he's "FULLY READY." Fully ready is just stupid.
NULLAMAN - open your eyes (or should I say one eye) buddy, there are other operators in HK apart from Cathay. So 60, DEFO pax , and COS 07 is not a concern to many of us. No stress in my life dude.
7FF - let me know when you see the sun here in HK - it's usually obscured in "vis 2000m in China' left over haze."
REENTRY - you forgot to put in the obligatory "oohkay ...." in front of Biff, Rip, Chuck and Randy's transmissions.
