Agreed

I agree with Buzzbox,

I was number 5 for approach when the wind swung around making r/w 25 out of limits. A lot of orbits in position before landing on 07. The forecast for HK was fine and I would think 90% of flight coming in were on flt plan fuel as I was. The storm over the field was particularly bad and caused some go arounds and a few pilots squawking (cx and Dragon) about fuel. The controllers did a great job fitting them in and we landed with sufficient fuel. Macau was wide open so there wasn't a problem and people are making a big deal out of a normal day at the office.
