They should have painted the whole aircraft a browny grey colour, for an accurate depiction of the Hong Kong skyline

I would have replied sooner but I had to stitch my side back together 
But granted I should have been more specific, do you have any info on how the vacation works ? Or alternatively if there are any commuting options?

What don't you muppets get?
No planned leave, cancelled or moved on short notice.
No commuting, as there is no defined roster.
It's a **** airline, with a worse reputation, horrific standards.
The vast majority of pilots are from third world or guys whose
previous airlines folded.

Your final assumption is correct, but you have made some incorrect assertions along the way.
Leave is reliable, not at industry standards, but rarely cancelled or moved.
There are reliable rosters, and if they are moved outside the pilots plan, PRA is available and being actively used at the moment, and will continue to be so until decent rosters are produced.
You are right it is a sh@t airline flying sh@t routes, so rosters are all sh@t, so PRA will continue for the foreseeable future.
The few good, well goodish routes they have are greedily grabbed by the office brown nosers.
In a real airline, they can only select one line flight per bid period, but in HKA they claim 100 hours flight pay every month and every good patern they can find, while the line pilots are left with red eyes and 50-60 hrs a month, and importantly minimum time off in home base.
With the current low pay rates, no housing allowance, cr@p MPF, no medical insurance, peanuts for overnight expenses, poor to woeful management, it is not an airline, just a charter outfit and a money laundering exercise for the mainlanders.
Another point, virtually none of the people come from "folded airlines", maybe a European one or two, but almost all came from active airlines, CX, KA, Emirates, Etihad, Qatar to name a few, so be very careful what you claim and who you infer are third world or from folded airlines, it is not true.
Most will agree that this airline is the cr@p outfit you claim, but it has proved a useful upgrade tool for many people also.
One person did not even wait for his 500 hours after his upgrade to say bye, good boy.
. How many went to Jetstar with paid for endorsements, very good pilots.
This trend is about to accelerate.

Thanks for that for the last 2 posts. I have been offered an interview at Hong kong express and been told things improving there by insiders so may go as they are paying for hotel and ticket to go. I am out of work now and yes dont want some screwup but beggars cant be choosers.
BTW I did look at Viet jet as example and frankly two tigers is wrong about the worst airline.
