Ok a simplified way of looking at things but why not get the union to do something productive and advise no one to take an AUS base who wants one but is stuck in HKG and everyone in Australia on a base say they want to come back to HKG rather than agree to the new contract. This would cost the company about HK$60,000 per month extra per pilot who came to HKG. I think that as the guys wanting the AUS base who can not get one would understand the situation and refrain from taking the empty slots. I have a feeling that this may cause a better solution.

I cannot see how you read into my posts that respecting someone's privacy or not attracting attention to yourself (or your earnings) supercedes "Supply and Demand" when determining salaries is beyond me.
That said, S+D is not the only factor in salary pricing, for if it were all pilots would be paid the same and indeed, all CX pilots would be paid the same. We exist in an imperfect market. One factor (of many) that causes an imperfect market is the flow of information....
What I am referring is what the popular press call "tall poppy syndrome". Before the press gave it a name, not talking about one's earnings was called manners or "class". I think it is called "wisedom".
