If you ever start ops, old man, CX will eat you for a snack. They prey on nickle-and-dime operations like yours. If you think for a minute that they will allow you to operate unimpeded into HKG, think again. DT is in the boardroom right now twirling his Hewlett-Packard finacial calculator (in the best Jimmy Stewart style) whispering "make my day".
You haven't a hope.
Personally, I doubt you'll ever start.
