I don't think anyone should assume newhires will not go to HKG. They barely got it filled when upward movement stopped and fears of furlough were rampant. Now, with vacancy bids that will likely continue as retirements start in earnest and new airplane need more bodies, it will be even tougher to fill the FO seats in HKG.
How long do you think they will delay HKG FOs bidding out? It may only be 2-5 newhires but it is possible.

Group would be handpicked similar to the ANC Purple Nuggets...and given a CHOICE of HKG or MEM.
I don't think there will be a gun to their heads in any manner.
YMMV.
p.s. I don't think any of the 90-100 pilots hired in 2011 will go anywhere but the back of the 727.

Sad that after almost 3 years of operation, they still can't fill the right seat.
That's how good the LOA is!
Ohh wait, it went senior. Ohh wait, it, uhh, it didn't even went at all...........

From the Way-back Machine . . .
I remember a few years after the turn of the century, say middle of nought-five, that classes were not offered Subic, just front and back of the T-tail (post -10 right; pre -11 north). But you could volunteer, as one gent did. He also was the junior Captain on the first practice HKG bid, with less than 3 years on property. Not quite what They had in mind.
I have a feeling if one or two of the poolies so desire, They would accommodate their desire of the Fragrant Harbour.
Best of luck to all,
Cheers

Rest NPRM - That's a good 12 months or more out. Subject to manhandling as they deal with the all important "cost issue". Yes, safety will only be legislated if it doesn't cost too much.
