another sh*t show out there last night around 930pm... Ground chick (local) completely ovewhelmed, expat controller had to take over, Apron screwing up gate assigments, Cathay 74 doing a overshoot from about 50 ft due to Asiana trying to roll all the way through to E18 gate instead of taking A7.
It was surreal @ one point.
HK is supposed to be world class, the whole operation was amateur.

A sh*t show! Did someone say a sh*t show? I love a good sh*t show! Ahhh, Veronica Moser......
You don't have to be mad to work here but it helps!
Surreal? Never!!! This is as real as it gets!!!
Your Honour, I wish to enter Exhibit B, 52 shiny bizjets all looking for a home.
Very well, but they'll take up all the bays.
Bah, no problem, we can tow them backwards and forwards across the runway all day- preferably when noone is taking off.
Apron will love it. They love a good sh*t show too.
Objection!
Objection from the Controllers Union.
Obviously an imposter- there is no Controllers Union any more- off with his head!
A***** rolling through to the end? Don't you love those ELP4 airlines? Correction, ELP2 but went to one of those magical language schools run by Wheaties
Left...
right...
no left...
roger right...
Turn whatever way you want...
Time for a nap. A very long one. With any luck it was all a nightmare.
Boing! Boing!

yat....,
Pal, this thread is officially D E A D .RIP.
So if you want your money, go ask the assoc. for your refund .
All the gweilos realised that the assoc. was a waste of time many years ago. The only reason that it still exists is because boneheads like you keep paying the annual fee.
As I said.......R.I.P.

In world class LAX they had a lady controller clearing a B737 to land on a Metroliner some 20 years ago
