HKG Sample Pairings: Good Luck
Even after vehemently opposing the LOA I have still considered bidding HKG. It looks like the decision has been made for me. No one in their right mind would voluntarily go do this flying. I thought the company was going to put out some fluff for sample pairings? 
Anyhow, it looks like a 'night-hub-turn-only' schedule, with a couple of 3 leg nights, some interesting body clock swaps, and a lot of cab rides. Also, they planned the GT from HKG to CAN at 1+30 which is unrealistic in my opinion.
Has anybody found out where the magical GT location in HKG is? I just started reviewing all this garbage.

Nice catch, the GT looks like it's planned at 3 hours. My mistake.
After looking again, there is some day flying but it seems to be mostly day/night swaps.

There is a 71 hour CEB layover...
