You're still not getting it. By closing bases, CX will force early retirements and resignations. We appear to be overcrewed on the pax fleet at the moment. Win for them. Now if they chucked in forced moves back to HKG in combo with putting them on COS18, almost everyone would refuse to return to the cesspit. Again, cutting the fat. This is where savings will be made by closing the bases. Yes, they're ruthless. Nasty business.
