There's a link to it in the Special Message Line of 06-04-08 which can be found under the "stay informed" header on the right side of the FDX ALPA homepage.
Note that this provision goes back and modifies the CBA, not just the LOA, and therefore this provision isn't limited to HKG domiciled pilots. It means that ANYONE with a HKG-CAN leg on their trip can be given GT by commercial carrier. Train and hydrofoil are specifically included, but nothing is excluded, so bus is fair game. It also applies to any other int'l location the SIG approves. NRT-HND? How about SFS-MNL by bus?
Note also that this little provision never made it to the MEC's "See what a great amendment to the LOA we got you" summary. Hmmmm
