Babes in the woods.
FO time means nothing outside your country (or airline).
These guys will take it all in good faith,sign up and find that the story is completely different once there.
They may call you 'Captain' but, you will be there to baby sit a young Chinese with just very few hours, and make radio calls.
They may offer promotion according to "their rules", which will be a pool system that will always put any newly qualifying local pilot ahead of you.End result, further down the list you go and no command.
Once they have their numbers, bye bye.
Don't be fooled.It has happened before and it will happen again.
You have a contract you say? Just try and enforce it.
As for bringing your family there, unless you are an ABC, forget about it!
