Thus far, Hainan Airlines has had incredible difficulty in attracting qualified pilots for the A330 and A340. For one, the promise of a base is false. Once you join, you are based in Beijing and can operate to and from your preferred port - a big difference than actually being based at your home port and operating to and from Beijing. In fact, the whole contract is full of promises which they (the company and the broker) don't keep. In Beijing the pilots get put up in one star accommodations called the 'Crew Hotel.' Good news though, they get to keep the same room, so many guys have turned them into de-facto apartments. I'm not sure if things have changed in the past year, but from what I was told (again by a Hainan pilot) they only get a one week roster to plan their life around. I could go on but I won't. Unless you are totally desperate, I would stay away from Hainan at any cost, at least until they get serious about changing their ways.
