Typhoon signal 8 going up!!

Well with the Cos08 post hotting up it has caused a stir in the enviroment. T8 is going up at 3.30pm today possibly due to pprune being inundated with protest posts by CX pilots.
A storm in a tea cup, i think not!!

Anyone else notice the huge difference between the Joint Typhoon warning centre positions for Typhoon PABUK and the Hong Kong Observatory positions?
who's right? I think the HK Obs is.
The whole of HK is shutting down for 35kt winds???????
Mel had 40 kts this week and even up to 45kts at times and they don't shut down the cbd. Storm in a tea cup perhaps?
ahhhhh just saw your post below this one Silberfuchs.... you may be right

Biggest joke of the year.

Must be due to them not wanting the stock market to freefall on the US losses.

Aviator Bar in TC empty...no one even bothering ..

This SIG 8 is a none EVENT

Absolutely agree with that after last year's mistake HKO is sure losing it's credibility. But the Aviator being empty.....

Aviator Empty...shocking indeed.

After last years Sig 10, they called a 3, I am not suprised they are gun shy..but today was a joke.

KA may not want it but CX does. With the purchase of KA by CX last year came all their assets including slots.

Yep you would think that.. Apparently it HAS to be operated by KA as it was given to them as operator! (if we are that)....

not trying to start a fight, just the facts as i know it, if they are facts?!!?

Make the most of it while you can - it's being forcibly closed down shortly (HKR refusing to renew the lease).
