Had a HKE Captain share details of their new COS21. I sounds like you won't get any locals willing to work there even if they are displaced.
Captains now to be paid less than a COS18 FO. The FO's now on a wage similar to an English teacher. Unpaid leave on top of that. Singles might be able to make it work. Anyone with a pet will be carving it up for dinner as they won't be able to afford it anymore. Kids in school? Send them up to China to join the labour force.
Truely is the race to the bottom.
