Want a temp base?
Anyone out there want to be based out of HKG? Say no to extended duties, say no to Closed Loop.
The GMA (who is joined at the hip with Hughes) closed the bases as they wanted the whole pilot group on POS18. They are hanging on to this even as the airline is canceling the few flights we were operating. We need based crew more than ever. The closing of the bases will cost us more than the last brain wave decision to hedge the fuel.
For decades we had temp and permanent bases. It isn't that hard, we have done it before, but they say it is complex and difficult as they try to bluff their way out of this. Time to call their bluff. If they want to crew the flights they can base us out. Force the issue. Withdraw all support for extended duties and closed loop.
