BEWARE of WEST AIR

Its seems that West Air will be losing many of their Foreign Pilots very soon as they have had enough.

I was looking at the contract there, as mine finishes in 5 months, but my agent tried to put me off!! he does not even want to deal with them as they want kickback money from the agency fee.

According to a friend of a friend there they have not only fired a foreign pilot recently for doing excactly what the locals do they are also trying to change contracts, making deductions to salary when the pilots do sim training, medicals etc.

Training in China at the best is average seems WestAir and still in old era and every ride is a fail ride. Duty times are ignored also they work longer hours, with starts before us and lates often end 3am.

Think I'll stay where I am as over money is nearly the same for no hassle, and dont think my wife would like CKG as its not really a place to live.

Seems the HNA groups are not much better, Tianjin is also a definate NO NO.

Any guys with BCA care to comment
