1-Th Brit expats always seem more British/correct when away from home, I was listening on Kensington High Street, fully ready, would probably have gone unnoticed as being grammatically incorrect..more so in Liverpool or Yorkshire - though I concede we are supposed to be professional aviators using prescribed terminology.
2- What I have noticed, particularly in SE Asia, is guys (pardon the pun) not being absolutely (fully
) ready upon line up. Just yesterday an aircraft called ready for take-off and was given an immediate take-off, upon which, the crew announced they needed 1 min
So I surmise that as most of the ATC are not native English speakers the "fully" ready, is used to establish if chaps are almost ready or in a full state of readiness.
Back to the thread, yes have heard the JHK CP has ideas of setting up his own in-house P2F scheme, obviously it won't get far, unless Joyce, Ms Ho et al sign off, then again they have to find a way to recoup the $$$ lost thus far.
Surely HKCAD will have other ideas.
