"You gotta be kidding me" - Dragon Air Pilot
This was what happened in an evening days ago in the east sector in HK FIR.
HDA A330 departed RCTP checking in ELATO FL340.
AAR (Asiana) Jumbo departed RCSI checking in ELATO FL380.
They are on top of each other in ATC perspective.
After passing ELATO, HDA was instructed to descend FL300 within 30 miles.
Upon reaching, HDA was instructed to reduce speed 250knots.
"HDAXXX, reduce speed 250knots"
"(a brief humiliating laugh) you gota be kidding me"
What a professional pilot from dragon air, role model of the industry.
I dono if anyone could or if it is appropriate to disclose specifics like callsigns or arrival time here.
Would share the conversation that follows after waking up from the world cup matches, lol.
