I have never met a pilot in China, that knows a pilot in China, working for GPS. If there are any it might be Hainan Airlines, as until recently no reputable agency was recruiting for them.

There are dozens of scam Chinese recruiting agencies, most of which have zero clients under contract.

For the most part you will get one shot at working in China. If you screw it up, you may never get another chance. If your agency, with zero experience, screws it up, you also won't ever get another chance.

I would recommend choosing your agency and airline very very carefully. For agencies I would only recommend Parc or Wasinc.

I think Xiamen is a decent airline to work for. Maybe one of the better ones. Xiamen is one of the best places to live in China, if not the best. This last opinion came from every expat that I have met that lives in Xiamen. All of them like it there.

Used to work for BRK, not happy with them at all.

Also as climbhappy says, Gus and also Robert are very good at FSS

FSS were scheduled to be doing screenings and sims for Xiamen in London this month - they have not managed to sort out their own visas to get in the country and the interviews have now been delayed until April! That is an indication of the level or organization you can expect over there. It made me laugh out loud when I heard that. Great advert for efficiency!

XIAMEN

Just noticed Contractair are advertising for Xiamen . It is the only contract in China that they appear to be working with I dont see many agencies offering this contract. But I do hear that Xiamen is quite a nice place to live and work , not so pollutted as elsewhere.

Contractair

Is this a contract actually with Contractair or one of the other companies withing their group. They may offer you a contract with Resource Consulting AG, which is based in Switzerland and subject to Swiss laws etc. If this is the case then you may find it very difficult to have any recourse to this company. Check it is with Contractair UK and not Resource Consulting AG, based in Switzerland.
