It’s like getting a job paying $20-25 USD an hour and thinking you’re making big bucks because grew up in Kansas. The only catch is that the job is in NYC, and $25 an hour there has a person living like a pauper.
Same in HK! Are you listening all you starry eyed boys and girls? The local CX package in HK has you living like a pauper, and no, you have zero chance of ever getting a base in your home countries. Bases are for expensive, expat pilots. You are cheap! Your place is in HK.
I don’t know if bases will ever open again, but if they do, it will only be to get the expats out of HK. After that, they’ll be closed up so tight it would take an act of God to open them again.
