Trafalgar, an on the money rant, I wouldn't have said CX deal was good up until 2010, i would have said their "golden Era" was 70's to 93, when the race to the bottom began.
On the HKIA front, interesting to see KA guys rate HK as the worst managed airspace that they fly into now, and they fly to the worlds "least enjoyed ports" shall we say. At least the delays there are 99.9% on the ground burning APU fuel, not in some contrived holding pattern under 'radar vectors' burning bucket loads more. Third runway is just a band aid solution to be seen to be doing something... I can already see the high powered meetings to find out why none of promised improvements materialised after spending billions of dollars. I guess the logic is, it will be on someone else's watch.
