What is it with everyone assuming people are in HK under duress?.......and that the lifestyle option means living in Oz?
CX do have bases in Oz.
I have a great lifestyle living on my boat, playing golf, skiing at Whistler, waterskiing and sometimes going back to Oz if I really have to.
Oh and when offered with a course date for QF I politely declined as I chose the lifestyle option, and kept my dreary spot in HK.
Its a big world out there and when I retire from work altogether ie 45yo, I won't be rushing back to Oz..........the South of France is more like it.
