13.1 clearly lays out what would happen in the event of a base closure/reduction in overall crewing levels and it doesn't include such language, so the based crew would return to Hong Kong if they wanted too.
The big concern here is actually what would happen in Hong Kong if they needed to reduce the workforce as the employment ordinance might allow Hong Kong based pilots to be made redundant out of Seniority given the circumstances, very concerning!
HTF did you get to any of that. ? Please supply the supporting reference. Last in, first out. At least in HK. And they ain’t going to waste any money repatriating anybody on a base back to HK. To elevated salary, or benefits.
You rather pre suppose that any of this is anything other than moot. No money left, lights go out. Make your own way home. And the obligation to repatriate guys ( condition of employment visa. Not a condition of HK permanent ID ) is again moot if there’s no money left.
