Doesn't it get a little complicated with regards to where the base is, whether you can actually work there etc. Everyone is assuming a HKG base would always come up first.
With ASL and everything else any scraps we get of seniority working should be taken and this is one. If your command comes up and it isn't where you want to live then you should get bypass pay.
But we shouldn't ever get bypass pay. The AOA tells me there are freighter commands available for all (especially until recently on the classic) so if you want one, a freighter command makes the most financial sense. The 80K you lose in housing and benefits is easily covered by the 3 K a month yearly increase in pay especially when you go across as a pax command which would need to be on year 71 of the pax command pay scale.
