O.P.
Just as a matter of interest, what do you think is a reasonable level of delay for a couple of dozen plane loads of passengers to say, Shanghai, due to Military 'games'. (lets face it, thats all it is).
2? 3? 4? 6?hours. Planes coming into HK FIR from several hours away, holding for an hour to go to through DOTMI to Shanghai, then returning back where they came from. You think thats acceptable?
Because that is what happens in our airspace and on the ground at HKIA on a regular basis now.
What did you say earlier?
To make life easier for yourself why don't you just put on more fuel and relax. It's not that hard.
So how much is enough so everyone can relax?
