Hubbing out of HK was great, allowed for all sorts of shopping to be done on a stopover etc etc etc. Not so easy these days.
As for codeshare, I get the crew savings in terms of distances and sick cover etc but do you really have to share with BA? They always seem so miserable whenever I fly with them, to the point I actively avoid BA if at all possible.
