Some B744F pilots are now based in HKG but on local terms...no housing, education allowance.

PAX pilots are also based all over the world.

I believe that your initial basing assignment has to be in an area where you have the right to live and work, but once in the company you can go anyway with your seniority and a/c type.

Freighter bases: NYC, CHI, ATL, LAX, and ANC.
Passenger bases (NA): LAX, SFO, YYZ, and YVR.

01Jul08 all freighter FOs and Captains as well as new hires since 01JAN08 are getting pay raises. 6% for me and I am a 2nd year -400F FO. 23% total pay raise since I started in mid 2006.
