I continue to shake my head and laugh at this pathetic individual. The email requesting to use the call sign "shuttle " instead of using the correct ICAO terminology, "Hong Kong Shuttle" and advising crew that speeds, altitude constraints on the Jepp charts are advisable only ! I tell my blokes, "endeavour to meet these requirements ( sometimes difficult, atc flow mgt etc ) or request a waiver. I usually get the response, XMGH says," we don't need to adhere to these " ! My reply is a courteous, professional response and sometimes a quick debrief on the ground.
We ( HKE flight crew ) and the DFO know that the GMF has limited capacity based on his aptitude and low experience on flying high perf. Jet transport aircraft in addition to his astonshing poor management skills but hang in there troops he IS short lived in his role here at HKE and in H.K..... it will happen ..... soon !!
