jon68,
Ah but the supervisor was probably a local.That sort of call doesn't fit into the number crunching profile.I recall a Gweilo collegue getting bollocked for saving a lost PPl's life.Reason non standard R/T.What is standard R/T in HK?
Having worked in that place a few years ago I'm not surprised by that dreadful response. I would have said thank you and I'll pass that on to the people cocerned.If you called EGPD ATC where I work now,I would say the same.The trouble with HK supervisors is that their heads are either stuck up their own arses remembering Kai Tak,or playing on the computer.They are without exception divorced from modern ATC in the real world and have zero people management skills.
