While there is little flying task we are all doing nothing, HK will effectively be on exactly 55% pay plus their expat allowances and Oz based are on 50% ( actually 40% after jobkeeper )
That is what the situation is now becoming for HK and has been for 7 months for the base.
In 12 months time things will hopefully mean we can do some hours and then you’ll be comparing Apples with Apples again showing based are cheaper. Remember they can continue to stand Oz based down as long as they like on 50% or even less.......
ok.
