Missed the point as usual..it's about the company abusing current retirement age both in hk and on bases to force transferees to sign new contracts on lesser pay than they were already on to get the basing..or remain on one. Or,like the USA...once on the base, impose a hefty pay cut!! $1300 USD/month for F/O's. What can happen now is ALL NZ based pilots can sue for their original salaries and age 65 retirement be reinstated.. Not forced out at 55 because they wouldn't accept onerous salary and contract cuts. The no limit retirement age in NZ is irrelevant flying CX aircraft.
When will they EVER learn!! Wait until you see the lawsuits when they go 'onshore' USA.
