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.

I have talked to one of the guys that bid HKG Captain and wasn't awarded it. He said that he hasn't gotten any passover pay yet. I believe the union and the company are still battling over that little tidbit.
