The more important question would be: Do you really want to work in China?

Fines for QAR violations; contracts changed without recourse; contracts cancelled when they don't need you anymore; etc; etc.

The best advice so far was to aim for Cathay's cadet program if you really need to be in the area, otherwise you'll be better off in the European market in the years to come.

I speak pretty good Mandarin; know the area quite well; and I wouldn't want to go to work for any of the contracts there right now. They're too insecure.
