With or without a YES vote from the HKAOA, the pilot exodus continues. Bases are the only thing that will keep many from leaving, regardless of the HK vote outcome. If new bases are not made reality in early 2019, the exodus accelerates. It really is that simple. Those who can leave but haven’t are only staying to see what happens. If it’s no news or bad news, most of those pilots leave by the end of 2019. I know I have my plan, and most of my colleagues are the same.
