Dragon 69 you know nothing about the crew on the YVR base, stick to your China turns. The ISM's there have been in the company for decades and have all jumped through the hoops while based in HK, one of them has over 40 years in the company. Is that experienced enough for you?
Yes they are better at their jobs. They provide an efficient and friendly service that is better in every way to what the average HK crew provides.
Flying with them as a crew member is an absolute pleasure, somehow they manage to look after the pax AND actually serve the cockpit too! With a HK crew it is at least two hours before we even get a phone call.
