The big variable over the next two years for command timing, is how many based FOs are going to come back for commands.
I would guess a significant number of FOs on bases are now nearing the 2 year mark from commands (top 200 seniority of FOs give or take),
Its a tough guess, if there wasnt this double tax issue hanging over their heads i would guess that most if not all would turn down commands and stay on the base especially as its obvious that command bases are a thing of the past for all but the most senior.
But double tax does change the game, how many will comeback to HK?? any thoughts. I know the AKL boys would be mad especially with their new tax ruling. and if i was able to get an FO slot down there i would be content to stay an FO but how many of the others will come back?
