Fellas, stop tying yourselves up in knots. It is quite simple how they are planning this. They will be closing most if not all bases. Then they will offer all of the displaced pilots a return to Hk. Problem is they will be returning on the "new" HK terms, which will hardly be acceptable to many. Many will probably resign and take the meager "redundancy package" that will be offered. Once that is resolved, they will then lay off several hundred crew. Not before firing as many as they can for the slightest disciplinary reason (and I might add...they are already doing that weekly). Overall, this time next year we will be down probably 500+ pilots. As I have said previously, the company can and should pull back from this action. Sadly, either this or some variant thereof is the likely outcome. Good luck to all.
