Leaving HK had nothing to do with the Airline, the people I flew with, any yearning to fly with my own "tribe" etc etc. It was plain and simple for me, HK is a polluted craphole and I wasn't willing to poison my family (and myself) for a few extra bucks. That's not my opinion, it's fact that you are living in one of the most polluted cities in the world for a few extra bucks. Then of course there's the population density, the tiny flats, the expenses etc etc, but that is just my opinion, some might like living in each others pockets
