No ANC base anymore, the 747 fleet is taking all the routes of MD11 and flying a lot. Flying around 80 hrs per month and getting your block days off you will spend very few nights in TPE. On the other hand if join the A330 fleet you will do mainly regional flights and spend many nignts in TPE. The B777 fleet, the best option, is just for locals and japanese guys. Company is talking about an expansion but there will be just a replacement of the old fleet, many orders are not confirmed yet. Maybe a very few increase in aircraft number. Life in TPE can be expensive if you wanna live a western life and the international schools are really expensive. The company has good standards and nice network all around the world, recently joined the Star Alliance, you can get zed tickets with other airlines and fly for free as extracrew with EVA... the contract is not so bad but in the region is one of the lowest.

Safe flights
