No commuting roster at HKC.
It's a 'green field' project, but they are repeating the very same mistakes HKA made when they were starting up.
HKA could have introduced Commuting Contracts from the get-go to attract pilots, and they would have never had any of their persistent crewing issues. But their penny pinching mentality created a crew shortage which is now blossoming into a crisis in which they've chosen to ride roughshod over the expectations of long serving pilots.

HKC is starting in the same vein. Adamantly refusing Commuting Rosters.
Stupidity and arrogance seem to be hereditary.

I have difficulty grasping why any pilot would choose to fly for HKC instead of HKA where there's the likelihood you'll get some type of commuting roster now, options to get on newer/better aircraft, and on longhaul routes (eventually) and where you don't have to spend your life flying 'plastic dogpoo' out of Hong Kong (in the middle of the night).
