Just a couple of less desirable aspects of Jade. Firstly, the 2 week roster we get isn't worth the paper it's written on. They will change your days off regularly with minimum notice (only by email) which makes it virtually impossible to plan a life and if your a commuter, very hard to book flights home. Jades only priority is to get planes airbourne, the pilots roster is a very distant second. After many requests, there is still no seniority list. I think this is so they can bring in as many direct entry Captains/Cruise Captain without the FO's having a foot to stand on, so if you come as an FO, be prepared for a LONG wait for Command. If you come to Jade, have a lot of savings in the bank as you possibly could be on 20/50/70 % of your pay for quite a while as they try and get you line checked. Some get trained quick, some slow, it's very hit and miss. On a good note, they no longer connect the commuters pay to the US dollar. All I can say is that Jade's a stable job (if the chinese doctors reniew your medical).There are better out there, and worse.
Thanks
