7700,
I've been using the NATS system for about 2 years now,and it seems to work fine.I guess it's like every new initiative that appears,you think why,but you get used to it.We also have to speak as you would write,to stop the machine gun list of numbers that could get confused.We very seldom have say agains anymore.Listening carefully to all readbacks is another.
It's surprising how these little changes can reduce the chances of mistakes.But as I said would they be adopted in HK?Maybe I don't know.As most of my training had to be reversed,turned inside out/upside down when working in HK,I wouldn't be too hopeful.
I would have a bet that the inner holds at TD and Sokoe are very seldom used.If there are too many a/c why not put 2 or 3 in these holds.It would free up the R/T considerably instead of the South China Sea conga.I never saw these holds used once,but the conga line was there all the time.
Anyway back to the frost and snow.
