Couldn’t care less about Tung Chung to be honest. You can live in many other nicer places.

The thing you guys are missing is the reality of many many many pilots nowadays. Wake up, do 4 legs, 11 hrs duty, 4 landings in possibly bad wx, 15 hrs rest, repeat. Ad nauseam. For half a CX pilot’s salary (C scaler).
If you were 28 years old now that’s probably what you’d be doing too.

I am not defending the sickening management practices and bonuses here, just to be clear. But I just want to remind you why HKA with choice of short and long haul, interesting trips, based in a modern city, is appealing to a lot pf people. Like it or not.
