The UPS poster makes the most valid point. They do it without an Asia base. HKG could be closed in 3 months if need be. Look how much draft, housing pay, seed money, education money, return tickets, etc to keep it open. A couple deadhead tickets could be offset easily. OAK 76 and ANC 777 opened for a reason. The writing is on the wall. I find it interesting to see some of those screaming about how bad HKG was a year ago and now praying it doesn't close. They screamed and yelled themselves out of a great deal. They now realize the mistakes they made. I honestly feel bad for the group who didn't scream and yell and understood that most of the issues come with living in another country. Its goes with the territory when you bid and FDA. You cant have your cake and eat it to in all circumstances. I honestly hope things get better for the FDAs but we don't control government regulators and the knee jerk regulations and rules they make.
