Completely false. The company benefits on many levels by having a pilot base in HKG/Asia. The fact that they continue to pay HKG pilots housing allowance, $250 per night for hotels in SFO, AND living expenses more than 6 months into a temporary relocation speaks to the fact that they don’t want it to go away. They will mitigate issues whilst Covid restrictions are in effect, but as soon as HKG shows signs of relaxing quarantines (which may be a while), they will want pilots back in HKG.

Now, the reality is about 30 seconds of analysis suggests the positives and negatives of each. Frankly, I suspect it will be Clark, and ever 55+ year old guy is going to bid it to relive his glory days until he finds that life in the RP is a young or retired guy's game, and we aren't a bunch of Navy Chiefs with family hookups.
An APAC base makes lots of sense. The question is one of location. Even ANC makes more sense that double DHs into theater. Of course, that's why ANC -11s is shrinking, but I don't second guess the mavens in Memphis.

Am I reading this correctly that two folks selected Cologne CAPTAIN as new hires??
