Up until a year or so ago I did the recurrent training for China Northern crews on the MD-90. Their junior F.O.s were lucky to fly 50 hours in a year ( talk about a handful in the sim ). So the prospect of them needing expats is extremely slim. China is not a market for expats as they don't need them unless it is for an introduction into service type of contract. Besides, a China Northern captain only makes $US1000 per month.
