Hainan Airlines
Good Post Brookfield Abused..! I have not flown for Hainan but many areas seem to be the same in China, with Chinese Carriers.
1. Punishment Culture- QAR crazy, make mistake, Fined, written up and placed on company website for all to see.
2. Hotels-One to two star cheap poor conditions
3. Schedule- 4-5 days out, sometimes 2 days
4. Minimum ICAO level 4 English
5. Checkrides- friendly checkrides but but multiple fairlures, Dual Hyd, Dual FCU, Dual ADIRS, Dual Flameouts, lots of hand flying without AP
6. Plenty of food no problems
7. Friendly staff
8. Split Shifts called rest in between less than 8 consecutive hours
9. Normal dispatch is timely and good but Little to no help on diversions, fuel burns etc.
10. Crowded cockpits- 2- FO's and sometimes a translator
11. Company meetings- on days off no pay
12. Money is good.
China could be worse but it takes some getting used to. Just gets tiring with the language barrier.
Good Luck,
On Final
