Not PLUS US tax, as swh states. IF you're 'merican or have a Green Card, your US tax would be reduced by whatever you had to pay to HK, so you would not end up paying more tax than what you'd pay on that income if you'd be living in the USA. You'd probably pay less, due to the foreign earned income exclusion.
I did not say how much that US tax would be, as that depends on a lot of factors, too many people have failed to take into account their home country tax treatment on worldwide earnings if it applies to them, none of the HKG employers really care too much about personal tax liabilities. There was also the problem with the provident fund that was not a recognized retirement scheme over there and people had to cash out or change.
I heard the opposite. If they were being "inundated" it is unlikely they would be advertising and travel to Melbourne to conduct initial interviews.
So you think KA is struggling to find pilots? The challenge I believe, may be retention and the absurdity of all the training expended on a new pilot over a few years and having them leave. I can not think of an airline with more costly attrition if junior pilot leaves?

What I do see though is Non Type Rated (NTR) commands coming up around SE Asia more often. So why would a narrow body captain move to KA to sit in the right seat for up to two years when they could go left seat on a type they do not fly. They get endorsed and no bond, due to HK law.
As far as a merger with CX, about as likely as QF and Jetstar merging.
Lucky for the interview team. Nice getaway during the AFL season,
