Promotion in Taiwan
Cosmet,
At this moment, CAL is planning to phase out its 744 just like many other airlines. So there are no upgrades on the fleet but guys are getting opportunities to upgrade on the 738. There are ups and downs about flying regional routes for expats but it's what gets you the four stripes at the moment. My point is CAL does offer promotion to expats if you are willing to stick around. In the past five years, there were an Aussie and a Brazilian who got their command on the 744. The Brazilian was 34 and had only been with CAL for 4 to 5 years the most when he got his upgrade.
