These younger pilots would want to be careful about getting type
ratings on new aircraft IN Taiwan....

Some countries do not recognise the rating as Taiwan is not an ICAO member and pilots who may wish to move on after doing a stint in CAL may find their documents useless when applying
to new airlines.

Also, there is Zero chance of getting a command if you;re going in on the right seat there. Read the many threads on CAL and EVA on this.You can stay there for years but you will go into
a pool and all Taiwanese pilots coming up behind you will overtake you in the pool.
They won't tell you this of course and pretend that a command is possible.

Really nice and friendly people, very westernized and it's just an hour from Hong Kong. It can be expensive to live in Taipei.
