What would happen if a Captain in HK bids for a slot on a base as an F/O because they want a base and they are not senior enough yet for the Command slots there?
Some Captains have already been up to the 3rd floor to discuss this very option.
Management was shocked (& appalled) to hear that CX Captains would wish to return to being an FO.
The answer was a flat NO.. sorry cannot. Once a CX Captain always a CX Captain.
