Tax question for US based pilots

Quick question for the US based freighter pilots:
Can you take the 15% HK tax and write it off as a foreign earned tax credit? Or are you NOT considered as having a foreign tax residence? I researched on the IRS publications, but it seems to me that a permanent basing in the States, despite that you are working for a foreign based employer that witholds foreign taxes, does not qualify as a foreign tax residence.
Sorry if I got a little technical, but the guys I'm asking this question to know what I'm talking about.
Thanks
