I'm on a base as an FO and have elected not to return to hk based on lifestyle (my own and that of my family), and the environment (read space, quiet and fresh air).
The the top end of the money quoted is very close to the first year b scale aussie based capt base of 192k, so really, in relation to cx its in the ball park for guys wanting a base and unable to get one.
The issue is more that both are considerably below the Qantas package. If guys bail from hk for V aust it can only put pressure on the whole cx package both in Aus and Hk so I'm hoping many many guys jump ship.
