    Couple more former Cathay pilots used to post on here. Been a while, so don't remember their screen names. Said they were laid off. I think one of them lives in Michigan.

    Yep, flew with them since 2004. Was on the 747 the entire time and stayed on it when it became cargo only. I was based here, retired a couple years ago. Went to HKG twice a month, team flying with 3-4 ####pit crew, lol. Miss HKG, but not as much lately with the covid restrictions and civil unrest, not as happy a place anymore, sadly. Good memories though.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Hope to go back this spring when school is out. I'm an old guy, but have 2 children still in high school.
    Hope to stay about 3 months. Covid lockdowns are over now even in Hong Kong. Herd immunity is the only way to go.
     
    147Grain Thanks this.

    Have you been to Macau? I'd like to live there I think. It's China's version of Las Vegas.

    I was in Macau once back in 2005, but I understand it's totally different now. They have that incredibly long road/bridge to it from HKG now, assuming it's open? Back in 05 I took the hydrofoil ferry.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Been a few years since being in Hong Kong. Had to change planes to the Mainland, Beijing.
    Exchanged about $600 USD to Hong Kong dollars.
    Then on the Mainland, couldn't spend the Hong Kong dollars. So, I used it for tip money in the states.

    That bridge is open now. Not much automobile traffic though; mostly commercial traffic, buses, trucks, taxis, etc.
