Yes they want experienced Captains....... Preferably under the age of 25 to survive the medical for a 2 year contract!
Dear China,
Please do a study/investigation to the number of in flight deaths/medical emergencies of Pilots during flight in the rest of the world. You'll be surprised how safe we all are.
It is one thing to have high standards, but you fail to realise the rest of the world does have high standards but the Doctors can realise when certain Medical Conditions have no effect on safety!
I think everyone in China is paranoid about anything in the future happening, and the CAAC charging/imprisoning the Doc who passed him/her. Just IMO.
