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.
I think you'll find it to be the exact opposite. Sure some of the older guys may retire however, most others will return to HKG.
To say the world market for pilot jobs is looking fairly grim right now and for the foreseeable future is a huge understatement. Mass pilot layoffs, reduction of fleet numbers and uncertainly as too when countries will be fully open for international travel once again.
Exactly where in aviation market are all the based guys going to jump ship to?
Also, not sure how smart forcing guys back to HKG and costing more to the Company would look to the Government Observers soon to be sitting on the Board of Directors.
Not sure how the Govt. observers are going feel about a lot of the decisions our management have been making. It will be interesting to watch.
