Always a risky move to work in that part of the world, HK, where your masters will not share your cultural background and concerns. Did you ever try working in a chinese laundry. Ask yourselves why the british were asked by the Swires to go out there in the first place 30 + years ago and take their experience in aviation with them... to address the non existant asian crm with the lure of silly salaries and nothing else. Ask yourselves why so many Aussies, [who had led such a laid back easy life in the former colony until Hawk finally busted their arses out and we arrived from the north to show them what a normal working day out of Mascot might comprise] ,have managed to spread such vitriol and hatred around the world with their hearts worn so proudly on their sleeves and that little list of names in the top pocket to keep the hatred going...forever if some have their way. Rule one, we are creatures and tribal with it, loyal to our upbringing and country, not to other cultures which we might find attractive for a while anyway. It all comes home to roost.
Mixed culture flying is unattractive in any form. Nor is it pretty to watch !
