B747eng:
My sympathies to you for not getting employed by Unitop after waiting for a year or more.....
Contrary to my previous negative post about Unitop, it is still very much in business and has got some recent contract jobs despite the difficult global economic crisis.
They are definitely one of the better flying jobs around for the 747 classics, especially with the 40/20 commuting schedule, not unlike Midex until they removed it quite some time back.
Plus now that CAAC has extended the retirement age of pilots to 65 to the airline, things are looking rosy for them again and for those pilots ( sorry not F/Es) who are keen to join them, now is the perfect time to look east......
