The way I read it if they put a -1 on HKG Cpt; 1 CPT is leaving. If in previous bids they say they needed 40 CPTs they are now saying they only need 39. If they move 3 CPTs in 4 have to leave and you are creating an excess with the new guys.

I could be wrong in which case, you could always bid it and refuse to sign. But I aint bidding it.
That is correct. A "-1" in the HKG CA seat, would mean that the bottom guy currently on the seniority list would be moving back and 1 guy would get awarded it. They cannot bump and flush HKG due to the fact that they cannot cause an excess.
