How about you put up some data to support your premise that bases don't save money? A based pilot's salary is lower than a HKG pilot's salary. There is no housing on a base. Even if the company massively cuts HKG housing, any amount will be greater than the zero housing on a base. Then there is the education allowance.
I do agree that the managers will be wetting themselves with this opportunity to shaft us, but HKG costs crew costs will always be higher than based crew costs.
