FR8,

Not sure what bothers you. If the TA is rejected, what will the company do? Send newhires to fill the slots not filled by volunteers? I don't see anything wrong with that. I know I wouldn't consider working in CDG for that money (wouldn't be interested in HKG no matter what). There needs to be a sizeable bump in pay (maybe 4k instead of 2.7k) AND school money for the kids. Without these incentives, I vote no.

I believe these are the real possibilities if the TA is rejected:

1. Company fills slots with newhires.

2. Company improves the offer.

3. Company uses a SIBA operation in either or both locations.

All three are fine with me. I don't care if we have a bid now or in 5 years. I don't plan on bidding anything different for awhile anyway....
