I still think this move serves two purposes 1) Fill HKG and 2) eliminate as much PO pay as you can (casued by Purple Nuggets and 72 FOs).

I do not know if HKG will get filled, but, I think the subsequent training letter will be cut off just above the Purple Nugget range to kill PO pay.

My question is what if HKG doesn't get filled? How will HKG get filled? Furlough then recall into an FDA? Newhires?
