Hong Kong Cargo... just in time for a trade war between the US and China; and in the South China Sea, the increasing probability of China learning the hard way about US naval power.

That's true, but nearly every FO in LHR is senior to the KA 747 CNs in MAN. You think senior LHR crew are going to jerk gear for junior captains on the pax fleet? I don't. It happens on the freighter, but that system is dying on the vine and will be rectified over the next decade.
If July 2008 hires are in the 777 left seat out of LHR, CXC will be burnt to the ground.

Doesn't matter a f+ck. They've benefited from early commands, basing lifestyles, and are junior to any number of f/o's in LHR. If they want a pax command, come to Hong Kong, bid in seniority for a pax base again, and join the frigging queue.

You're dreaming 747. No chance. Not a snowflakes in hell. If you're holding out hope for that, it's going to be a long wait. The PM herself couldn't make that happen. Trust me, they're toast. It's return to HK on local terms until command seniority or, at best, downgrade to FO on the 777. Time to start sucking eggs. CX group my arse. Does that mean any CX pilot with a few years seniority can walk over to KA and take a command? Nope, wake up! Your fantasies aren't doing anyone any good. Least of all... you!

There is already talk of Pacific pilots being offered a move across to Dragon to solve the looming CN shortage there and to get more CNs trained for the Group. It would be an extension of the current Pacific FO upgrade program being done at Dragon. Better than DEC for them I would suggest as they can eventually move back to Pacific.
BTW all MAN based ex Dragon freight pilots can move to HKG on full expat B with housing etc.

Yes they're welcome back to HK, on full housing and benefits...and on the freighter...
