A friend of mine just received a new response from the director of immigration.
"From applications submitted under the General Employment Policy, justifications for employing the applicant in Hong Kong and reasons why the post cannot be filled by locals are required to be provided by the sponsoring company in the application form. It aims to protect the local market."
Hong Kong Airlines and many other dodgy aviation companies in Hong Kong have been getting away with abusing the ease in which the General Employment Policy works.
There is no other country on the planet where they would let go of their local workforce and then retain foreigners on employment contracts.
Are you a permanent resident or passport holder in Hong Kong? don't be let go and have pilots on general employment contracts take your jobs.
Throw your company and throw these pilots under the bus enough is enough.
