I'm a little fuzzy on exactly what's wrong with both sides benefiting here?
or are you guys thinking the company should offer us all that tax savings as a lump sum cash payment to us for the 'sacrifice' we made by living in HKG vs. CAN?
Obviously, it's a win-win.
But, in your "raise the BS flag" post, you insinuate that EI is putting out misinformation.
We are just trying to point out that the company has some incentive for basing us in HKG other than just being "urged" by the NC. That incentive is $66,000/yr in tax savings per capt. Pretty substantial, even when you deduct the ground transport costs.
