I also am curious about interview gouge with YRE.
In addition, since I don't have any connections there, I would be curious about some other input. I have just been offered a B737NG Captain position with another Asian carrier, and am screening with YRE in April for a First Officer position on the B747-400. I would prefer to fly the -400, with the opportunity to upgrade at some point than the 737, even though the pay is less initially, however, I have heard that the Chinese companies are somewhat unpredictable, that contracts with them tend to be more fluid (i.e. they like to change things all the time), and we all know cargo has taken a beating recently. I would hate to pass up a more stable job that pays more just to end up dumped on the street or stuck in the right seat indefinitely if they were to continue hiring direct entry capts.
I'm not looking for advice, just information. Any input on this, or scoop on what is going on at YRE would be much appreciated! Thanks!
