Air Profit:
you are incorrect. All those rumours that so many Americans left for other airlines are not true. The last number I have heard is 10 US based Americans left so far this year.
You are also incorrect in regards "CX is paying the bases their 13th month (incorporated into their salaries)." at least for First Officers. Most first officer salaries on bases are nearly identical to the HKG pay scale without 13th month. You are correct that some of the based Captain YOS scales are higher then in HKG and equal 13 months salary. Taking into account that based officers have a way higher tax burden and no housing assistance what is the point you want to make?
