It's a 767 base that focuses most of its flying in Asia. Short haul point to point and turns through the hub in Guangzhou. Basically the flying the Hong Kong based pilots used to do before that base closed. There aren't any local departures from OAK to those Asian cities for obvious reasons with the 767 so everyone on those trips gets positioned by commercial pax flights. There are some domestic trips but the majority are to service the Asia flying.
