Well done you spotted my mistake - I was thinking of ZGSZ which is the alternate CX uses when VMMC is not suitable (RW16 in use for example) I can't remember the last time ZGGG was filed because if the HKG forecast is poor then we will be using MNL, KHH or TPE. Why would anyone file ZGGG as a HKG alternate when the forecast for HKG is OK? I apologise for assuming you were referring to ZGSZ when you did say ZGGG but still think you're a prat. The days of carrying extra fuel for comfort are long gone and rightly so. In CX if the commander thinks extra fuel is required he loads it and knows he will be supported unless, of course, he is just being a prat!
