That’s good stuff right there. Let us know who does as well as being home 25 days a month. Not a pipe dream, it could happen. Pipe to one’s head would happen much sooner though. Quite a few of senior folks pulling above 500k, but putting some time in while the opportunity exists.

*We have quite a few who do the international commute long before the rash of outsourcing abroad. It will be interesting next year to see how things might be affected.

That opportunity is going away in a matter of weeks according to the news. China getting rid of the quarantine requirement next month….so it must be a matter of weeks now.

Plus, if the extra long double turns due to the elongated offload/upload ground times were to stop than it just may happen. After all, ICN is our home away from home these past years. We’ll see how HKG, Shanghai, Wuxi, etc. flush out and become actual free roaming areas. If so, then you’re on to something. CVD levels never really dictated our art 33 for China since the beginning as many refused to enter and plenty still haven’t refreshed their visas. Several boxes will need to be checked on this one.

No doubt…
Art33 may last for awhile longer as the rash of “infected” may be sky rocketing along with reinstated US entry requirements. Stay on the trail of honey while it lasts.

Doh, my apologies and unfortunately in person/ real life (not internet dreamscape) my sarcasm is all too clear - subtle or more finesse would be better. On a side note, Cordis showed up on my schedule- hmmmm.
