Sounds like you know the place well dyce.
Similarly, when we come in from the east for 7 it always amazes me when we get bent out to the south to follow traffic that got shortened from Mango to Limes. What is the point of shortening someone if it causes someone else to get stuffed around.
They get shortened and now we come together near Sokoe so we get screwed.
Couldn't we both have just stayed on the STAR?
I don't think its a matter of inexperienced locals as some of the worst handling I've been on the other end of has been from expat controllers. It seems they're not immune to this fuzzy logic that exists in HK. Indeed they may have passed it on to the locals.
