Good information, thank you. On reserve the commuters fly in and sit in a hotel, or do most chance being able to catch a flight to their base if they're called?
Clearly commuting back to the States for visits won't work on that kind of a schedule (can't bring the kids with me; wish I could)...that could be a dealbreaker...kids need dad on a regular basis.
I'm wondering about the potential for a DEFO to live somewhere like Phoenix and sit reserve for LAX from there. From reading the various posts here, I gather that CX really wants to know that an employee is committed to the company regardless of the offer, and that an employee is ready and willing to move to HK. I understand that, and appreciate the needs of an employer...how much lattitude or potential for assignment might one have if one prefers a base such as LAX?
Again, thanks for your replies.
