Being in China for 4 years,I can tell you guys the info posted here are very accurate. I'm not with CS but some stuff are the same for all companies either because it is a CAAC rule or because it is the way it is in China.
1. Contacts are ONLY guidelines.
2. They do need pilots,but they get rid of you very easily
3.in China you don't need to bea good pilot.You need to be lucky.
4.the medicals do keep grounding people even when you are already flying in the company.In my company,we are 40 and in 4 years, 7 lost their medical for good.In China,of course. EVERY 6 month some of us have to repeat exams because something was not at an astronaut standard.
5.For non type rated.Expect to be on the right for well over a year.apparently CAAC Directive?!
6.VERY IMPORTANT, !!! The agency. Parc is no longer what it used to be.Just another one . Brookfield would not be my option at all. The Best around is GPS.I'm not with them unfortunately,but everyone with them is happy.
7.You don't need to be a
sucker in China. Some guys have tripled their wrinkles and bent their spine for that.Just be respectful,good courtesy and professional.
Good luck to you all
