GTC. You are sipping the company koolaid. There will be very few Americans left by the end of next year. I know of 10+ myself, never mind the ones I don't know of. Further, your COS clearly states '13th month' incorporated. I'm not sure why you would want to undermine the fight the HK pilots have on hand. Can you explain? As for taxes etc, that is a personal choice. You get to live at home in exchange for that. Many live in HK at the expense of that. And the cost of living in HK is much higher. How about you and your based colleagues support and assist those in HK. You may not think the issues in HK important, but they may be one day when CX closes yet another base (LA, SFO....etc). This month is not the time to show weakness or divisiveness. You might want to think of that.
