Delayed Flap.... while you seem to retract part of your statement, it is still insulting. At the very least you could and should delete your post.
I have flown with and trained pilots (Capts and FO's) with this same attitude you portray: the ones that believe they are right and all others (FCOM, FCTM, SOP's, etc, etc) are wrong, and FO's jumping in to slander a Capt as they believe they deserve the seat due some ill-gotten self obtained Sky God status, or due the passport they hold, their nationality or previous background is self belief enough to slander other pilots skills.
HKA/E may have it's (many) problems - and it seems it does - but it appears to be on a better track than some others in that same backyard it seems. I personally know of some ex CX TRE's / TRI's heading that way..... I wonder how you would feel if they met you in a sim or line flight/check (at HKA/E or other airline) and took a look at your nationality and pre-judged you? Show some professionalism.
