Definitely DO NOT resign as previous posters have said, you are only 1 medical or 1 sim check or 1 QAR event away from being unemployed in China. China is red hot for typed Captains with 300 hours PIC in type. To answer previous posters question, many of the FOs at American, and other majors have flown as PIC at previous carriers in their previous careers even though they are now FOs. The experience level to get to a major Airline job in the states is quite high and many pilots have thousands of hours of PIC in Boeing and Airbus aircraft along with their current experiece as Boeing and Airbus pilots at Major Airlines. China is definitely not for everybody, but for single pilots, empty nesters or very young families a 3 year contract making 200K per year and getting 90-120 days off per year to travel around Asia might just be what the Doctor ordered to get away from the Rat race and sit out a bankruptcy cycle for a 3 year stint in Asia
