Bases might be dead, but it has NOTHING to do with recency. Almost seems like wishful thinking from SanMig, as if s/he will benefit somehow. More probable... YVR and YYZ bases close and some of those pilots come to HK while SanMig gets made redundant.
Also, 70% pay for zero work seems like a pretty good deal to me. Where do I sign up?
