As an addendum try:
- Keep HKG as a training base only.
- All non-trainers employed on N Am, (BREXIT) European and Aus base with own seniority and 'career' system.
- If a Capt 'volunteers' (stupid idea in the first place) to train, then HKG base it is.
- No cadet system required (at quite a cost saving) ONLY recruiting to bases
- No need to pay HKPA to the local guys and gals as the expat requirement has disappeared (at the SO, FO and non TC levels - I'm stumped with the local TCs!!!!
