Bases are next
Just heard a rumour that after the Hong Kong Pilot cost savings are achieved and completed, bases are the next topic on the agenda. As there are barely any cost savings left, too many labor laws to comply with and a cost to administrate the bases, each basing area will be assessed how to achieve a closure of the particular basing area. Some speculate that for North American bases this will coincide with the expiry date of their respective CBA.
