Depending on what sort of LOA it would be under, perhaps. Certainly not under the current joke of an offer. I can tell you this, the company doesn't want to do that for tax reasons alone.

For BC to pat himself on the back and claim HKG vs CAN base as a victory won by the negotiating committee is humorous. They have no leverage to do anything other than concede to whatever the company offers, yet somehow strong-armed the company into putting a base 3+ hours away? Puhlease.
