Your descriptions of ACTUAL conditions in the tower are much appreciated. I have visited the tower both at Kai Tak and CLK and think you guys do a great job under difficult conditions.
Having the luxury of operating in and out of VHHH since day one, I find it inconceivable that anyone can line up on taxiway A or J at any time of the day or night.
Why would you prefer to taxi out on A or J after looking at the Mandarin MD11 arrival! On that occasion a CX 777 got out of the way in the nick of time onto J6.
VHHH is not a difficult airport. If you are new to the place look at the layout map before you push back.
You ARE appreciated.
