Shep, exactly, and well explained. This company has been playing fast and loose with laws all around the world, and in HK they know it's effectively 'lawless' so that explains why they continue to get away with their antics there. Either the pilots group(s) unite and stand as one together against this mob, or we will all collapse and die separately. To the US, Canadian, Europe and Aus based pilots, I say to you all.....wake up to what is really going on here. If the HKAOA agrees to take strong industrial action (and you all know what I mean), then we must ALL support that, as eventually they will come after the bases as well. TIME TO WAKE UP. Only we, collectively, can stop the rot. Now is the time.
