GTC. You're missing the point. The most senior pilots who have the legal right to live in a respective base area must get those slots. Otherwise, see my other solutions mentioned in my earlier post. Since CX decided that you couldn't bid for any base slot UNLESS you had the right to live and work, the slots therefore must now go to legal residents. I can't apply for a Melbourne slot can I....but I would like one...? Unless CX are willing to sponsor all pilots for all bases, how can they justify just doing it in the US? Is that fair?
Another point is this: Why should an entire base be majority occupied by foreign nationals for the next decade or so, just because of an anomaly with the original formation of basings. Such a situation would not be tolerated on any other base, so why the US ?
