Been there done that. Spent one contract; at that time the training (at training pay) was awfully and painfully low (now this has been improved); big airline, you feel to be just a number; operations from two airports, lot of added fatigue; pay below average; Shanghai very expensive. On the other hand: great bunch of friendly people amongst the expat pilot community, good relations inside the company, namely the section 3 that is the expat section. Training and checking easier than it is in other airlines. I moved to another one in another city, so far without any regret.
Happy New Year.
