If you are interested in the KA demographic, the dilemma for an expatriate to return will be either they've sold their property, or if they didn't hold property, there is no housing allowance to return to in Hong Kong.
The same will apply for any future CX layoffs. Pilots that sell will be wealthy enough to be intolerant of poor conditions of service and high levels of unnecessary professional stress. And those that are not must weigh up paying to live in Hong Kong !
