You are all right guys, bases will never be closed. In fact, they are so happy with bases that they haven't offered any in 2 YEARS. That is two years of housing and education they could have saved on several pilots.
Cathay are so happy with bases that they even put a workgroup together to find out how to get more pilots on bases. We should know the results of this workgroup soon. That will be the official line from management every few months. Maybe the workgroup was put together to offer pilots incentives to take bases, like housing or 13th month. Yeah, that's it. You heard it here first.
You can burry your head in the sand all day long, does not really affect me. But if I was on a base with no intent of being HKG based, I would be updating my logbook and doing research on the web into suitable options.
