MC. You are toxic, and a review of your posts clearly shows that. My point is that once you have pilots based in a country, they should have rights to stay there (and I have been disadvantaged by that premise myself). It makes no sense to keep forcing pilots and their families back and forth between a base area and HK. If they are already in a base area, they should be able to move within that to fill base slots as and when the company changes them around. Otherwise there would be chaos in too many lives. Now, go back to your cubicle.
