I don't buy the pitch that it is a good deal.
1) They certainly make loyalty an issue. Front-load the work and back-load the pay via bonuses.
2) In a sane world, you would not get called on 22 QARs, but the Chinese are the world's top micro-managers. Where else would you have to answer for every 10 knot gust of wind on an ILS or other trivial BS?
Will they ever have the sense to listen to the experts and incorporate QAR data into better training? No way.
3) Experience is appreciated? What does that mean - they hired you as a direct entry captain? Free beer if you have more than 15000 hrs total time?
What about their medical games? Having fun with the CAAC mandated head-scan theatrics?
4) At least some F/Os open to suggestions? That means "at least some are not idiots" and "at least some appreciate my experience."
In my opinion, it is all a bunch of lucrative crap. Pilots are high paid airplane operating hookers, and the ones in China are the leaders in swallowing the big one for money.
