Man oh man. I specifically remember reading this post on February 29, while relaxing in the completely empty Pier lounge in HK, waiting for my Cathay flight to the States. I also remember seeing the acres of parked aircraft covering all of HKG's tarmac, and thinking "you know, this guy might be right.
