FLEX: I agree with most of what you say but"untrue" in this case is in the eye of the beholder. I have felt that the CRM between myself and my Chinese F/O's has been very good over the last 5 years which I have been in China. In general I believe it has been easier than working with F/O's at LCC's in Europe.
I see the problems foreign Pilots have with the initial training and the medical but once you're trained, online and lucky enough to slip easily through the medical then this could not be a better deal.
With my current employer I have the option of 18 days a month at home, in Europe, with salary of $14k, and a tax paid certificate. It's unbeatable. I am happy...
Totally agree that we deserve it though.
