You are from management, or the AA or simply blind
Tell the truth, we were lucky there were no major near-misses and that no one ran out of fuel.
The truth must be told to ensure this never, ever happens again. Saturday can only be labelled as a complete loss of control of HK airspace. There was no WX, only volume which IS controllable...who allowed all these aircraft to enter the HK airspace, hold over a hour, force long haul flights to divert but allow arrivals from ZGGG, ZSAM, RCTP to land??? Then land and guess what- no gate!This CHAOS lasted over 8 hours!! This is not the first time AA/CAD has screwed up bigtime...remember the last typhoon.
Pilots,the airlines, and the passengers should, must demand a public enquiry. Think of the: costs to the airlines, the frustrated passengers, the wasted fuel holding, the fact that Controllers could barely keep aircraft apart. It was dangerous, scary, with at times over 40 aircraft with undetermined holding/landing times. Loss of control? How else would you describe aircraft flying from one hold to another, climbing again to enter a new hold, without ever receiving an EAT?. Yes, the controllers succeeded in handling an eight-hour emergency situation.
**BRAVO TO ALL CONTROLLERS CONCERNED**
A public apology and a pledge not to allow a reoccurrence is the least we should expect from CAD and AA.
