Finally
Someone gets it!!!
"This is an HKG company, no matter how the "crewing" companies are arranged: The HQ is in HKG..."
"Nobody needs a base. Nobody needs to commute. Those are preferences and choices"
"And the company has already figured out that the problems, costs and inflexibility caused by having pilots on bases does not outweigh the cost and advantages of having all pilots in HKG. Before taxes, before lawsuits, before FRMS, before labour laws applied, before foreign governments and courts had jurisdiction...sure, it all made sense. But, no more."
Exactly it's all become too hard. Love it when I talk to kiwi guys saying "I'm waiting for a base update"...it's not coming they are working away from bases!
After recent events, it would be foolish for anyone on a base to think their bases and basing companies won't be shut down completely at the drop of a hat. It's already happened, and now it's happening within a phony "basing company."
Agree
