Yes totally true. Unbelievable isnt it!!!!
He landed in his home country with blood coming out of his ear.
DR said absolutely no flying for a month. This was reported to the fleet and accepted.
He didn't receive salary for that month as no flying. Kind of understandable I guess as we are contract pilots.
BUT then he returns to Guangzhou to be told he is being fined 600$ a day extra as company doctor doesn't agree with the Dr he saw in his home country. Absolutely unbelievable.
So getting sick in a country away from China cost him about 40k€!!!
Yes you read that right. Double salary loss for 1 month away from flying.
It really is disgusting.
Do your research I guess before you come here. If we knew this was how they would interpret the contract then a lot of us would never have joined.
If you still want to take the risk then that's up to you of course. If so then see you down here.
Cheers,
