Not sure where the post about the number of pilots leaving got their info from. This summer, there were two managed aircraft from Hong Kong who left for HK management companies, a few guys who left for positions at management companies in HK, and a few guys who got postings in the states, but the number I hear is around 10 guys left in 3 months, not 30 in one month...
BAA gets far more aircraft than the rest of the HK guys put together. They and Deerjet are the big players. Your position is very secure at either, as long as you are not a huge jerk who openly rants on about things. On one hand, you will need to learn to do things the Chinese way, and on the other, you avoid the reactionary tantrums and drama you so often find being served up by the expat managers in Hong Kong.
Take your pick, and enjoy the flying. The pay is about the same!
- and it's the old school Chinese Captains who are first to whip out the cancer sticks, not the expats or the FO's or FA's.
