Very UNLIKELY. The Immd has specific rules®ulations, any ‘special - under - the - table’ deal will not fly in a courtroom, which the ex Dragon guys may very well bring to light, should there happen to be any such non
PR renewals.
The extension was only granted for a specific time period, which is now fast coming to an end for the 320/330 non PRs.
It’s also not applicable any longer to the rest, with only 2% of pax flights going, and most cargo flights cancelled. Plenty of foreign cargo companies keeping hongkongers fed.
CXi (not exactly the most popular company in HK right now) doesn’t need anywhere near the current crew numbers, and certainly can’t justify this to the party animal director of immigration.
GBA is waiting for CXit to finally close shop, before making their entrance, that day seems to be very near, unfortunately.
