We are hiring a lot of expat pilots in my company, but most of them fail either the CAAC medical, either the CAAC simulator check.
After that a few, maybe 10 percent, fail the line training to be captain, for the other ones, well, it seems like a good job.
Good money, during some period of the year (difficult weather) the F/O cannot be PF, the ground staff ant maintenance are helpful...
Well, we are still foreigner, obviously, it has to be kept in mind.
Think one seconde what you would feel if US hired south american pilots to be captain, or if Europe hired africans pilots in their airline (without changing their nationality, without learning the language, speaking their own local language), you would feel bad right?
It has to be taken into account.
They give you a job, a nice salary, a peaceful life (you do your flight, come back home and do whatever you want), in exchange you have to pass the simulator check, fly respecting the regulation and SOPs, nothing more, nothing less, what is fair enough right?
After all, nobody is forced to come here...
