Hmm, not a safety issue?
Seems to me that selecting flaps/slats at improper speeds IS a safety issue. Perhaps HKG operates to a different standard.
And, no rest for 19 hours before the flight? The pilot in question actually admitted this?
If correct, WHAT was he doing assigned/reporting for the flight?
Is it NOT the crewmembers responsibility to BE properly rested?
And, WHY was he not?
