I don't think EVA Air or CAL are gonna recruit expats again.
CAL has also stored three B744F in US, but they already returned one to TPE and the other two are coming back in the next months.
Anyway, Expats contracts are not renew to anyone at least for 2009 and according to the rumours no more renewel at all.
Their plan is to have a 100% local pilot force by 2012, from more than 300 expats in 2007 we are at this moment less than 80 and coming down month by month due the not contract renewal.
At this moment, CAL is training the last APQ group, 26 guys, so our replacements are already there.
Captains and Relief Pilots are flying the minimun or above guaranty flight time but FO are flying not more than 60 hrs per month.
For what I heard from EVA Air guys the situation is preaty the same for them.
