I'm not surprised



The company is not being benevolent or "taking care" of these guys. It was in their contract when they got hired 3 years ago that they could come to the line, if they choose, as long as there are no pilots furloughed. All were offered Hong Kong. None were forced to take it.
BTW, got my info from one of these guys last week. He was on my JS doing his annual FAM ride.
