Yeah well when I went into VHHH 3 days ago it was NOMAN Star>Vector> Slowdown>vector> Star> speed up 300kts> vector> Vector *now headed south at 300kts @ 4000ft> vector> slow down> Star> runway change> Vector> speed up> cleared for the app call the tower, Between 3 approach controllers a then director before tower.

Perth would have a pink fit before they coped with the traffic density.

Absolutely not a dig at the controllers, but the work practices shoved down their throats and the lack of real estate.

Perth like Brisbane needs another runway yesterday, not a DFO or parking lot.

However politics and the $ worshipers will stifle our profession until there is a buck to be made by someone actually doing a good job.
