Are they not going to open an MD-10/MD-11 base in HKG?
6 CRTs in the Fedex 757s (don't know if that's the ABX upgrade)
HKG MD base seems to be desired by those in charge - they wanted 757s in Paris a few years ago too. All I can say is we'll see.

FDX would be a great gig but be very prepared especially if you have a family. Hong Kong is cool but not for the faint of heart!
I am so tired of taking the FE written but here I go again.
Another planet?
Really?
