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.
The question was raised if bases would be the first to be laid off, and it was pointed out that they wouldn't as based pilots through the Basing agreement and their individual COS will be returned to Hong Kong in the event of a base closure or reduction on a base! The reference is the basing agreement and the COs all inline with Global seniority.

yes you are correct it is last in first out in Hong Kong and on all of the bases as it is a common seniority list globally! However the concern as several have pointed out is that the HK employment ordinance might allow out of seniority layoffs due to the situation, further more as the AOa have questioned it seems to be a bit of a concern that the Cos18 pilots aren't on the common redundancy list or something like that! If your an AOa member log in and have a look there they sent a letter to the DFO questioning this.

Anyhow its all a bit silly as you suggest, the way it has to be done and the way it has always been done around the world is last in first out regardless of base etc, after all this is the main advantage of seniority and a reward for staying with an employer even if better jobs are available!
