Not to mention, be careful if you take the move package and housing allowance. The company will try to get the money back after a couple years and or fire you! Don't expect the union to protect you either...

There is zero point in being concerned about the tax situation in HKG or CGN. You sound like you haven't read the original FDA LOA, specifically the tax equalization section.
The pilot receives zero benefit from the foreign income tax exclusion. None, zero. So as the pilot, you actually do not care one bit if PWC (the firm you are forced to allow to file your taxes) claims the foreign income earned exclusion for you or not.
I've been FDA based my entire time at FedEx thus far so I have some first hand knowledge of this subject.
As foam flier said, there are much bigger issues than how PWC files your taxes to be concerned about.....

Since you have been in an FDA the whole time (assume HKG now) are you better off with equalization or worse than if you had to pay taxes you owed on your own? Curious from some real world experience. Is PWC paying more out than you are paying in actual/hypo ? thanks

And I was quite familiar with LOA 1 and 2, as you well remember from right here on APC.
But, as I said, go on with your algonquin round table as usual.

Same as the US domestic; 1 or 2 legs into CDG, sit for a couple of hours, and 1 or 2 legs out. All at night. Some variation but you wont see it unless you are on reserve. 6 hours pay ~ 4 hours of block. Most trips start and end with a dh to out station so leave sun or mon, back fri or sat for a 30~36 hour pay week.
