So 76 crew applying for a total of 10 Perth positions.
I'm guessing that it requires a minimum of 20 years at the very least to be able to get a Perth base as a captain!
It'll be around 10-12 as an FO and that will include giving your dreams up of a shiny widebody command up!
New joiners, you just let that digest for a while.
It's almost like CX is fishing to see how desperate crew are to get out of Hong Kong and use the information to offer even worse conditions. No CX would never do that
