Bedder,
Thanks for that.Is your RRSM allowing the landing to touch down while the departure is past the point of no return,or allowing less than a runway length but airborne.
In the single runway days at CLK,we all had a few tight situations with slow vacaters,or departers and ''Management'' took a very dim view of it.I saw people suspended for moving traffic(legally in the UK).Even go-arounds could get you in trouble.Suspended for trying to be safe.
Numero,
I saw plenty screw ups at HK ATC,including 2 of the most dangerous things in 28 years.Maybe the London guys seem less happy because they have to stick to standard phraseology and they are a damn sight busier.There is no standard phraseology in HK because all the expats think they are doing and saying the right thing.What they do at home.
