To make matters worse the CAAC has now mandated all Chinese airlines take the furloughed Chinese pilots mostly from Hainan and incorporate them into their companies. It is said to be around 1500 pilots. Expats may not be required for a long time in China and when they do start up again don’t expect the same salaries many have been accustomed to. Long term China will do just fine but throughout 2020 I would speculate the need for pilots, especially high costing expensive Foreign Expat Pilots will not be required. Even the domestic carriers have slashed their flight schedules to 25% of pre-coronavirus standards.
