Your privilege. I'm reporting what he said, so I'm not bull****ting.
Whether or not he is - well, I know him, and I don't know you, so I'm
more inclined to believe him than you.

If I recall correctly it was a USA based carrier they followed. Great
emphasis was put on the fact that absolutely no one except pilots
with very high hours on type can bid for the HK routes and that the
approach is flown in the simulator many times before they do it for
real.

Your recollection sounds spotty and even if accurate is apparently based
on a single carrier. And I'm sure he would have flown it in the sim.
