You are correct...I would squirm as would others and we just may do that sooner than later with the hiring of KA and OA crews. Essentially Direct Entry Captains are coming and no Bypass Pay will be paid for those normally eligible when delayed for a Command.
But, there is a difference when it comes to the make-up of the CC system. Based CC CANNOT elect to move outside of their base area! Their seniority is held within the base area and so CX has again created a division among the crews. But this is not all CX's fault as the based CC are locally hired and must have the legal right of abode which eliminates most of the HKG CC from applying.
But my comments earlier were to identify the differences of the crews with regards to camaraderie which has more to do with upbringing then citizenship.
