hmm, we all know about those former fighter pilots who gave KE a bad name http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif Good flyers, but a 747 isn't a Phantom...
Word is a mix of new training procedures, management directives, civilian-trained pilots, and some foreign pilots, have brought matters under control.

In fairness, Kai Tak was a pilot's nightmare. The airliners.net links below show similar approaches.

I take my comments back! Those KE pilots did a much better job than any of the ones on the photos above http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
