Well in my experience with the Chinese majors I.e. Air China, Air China Cargo, China Southern, Shenzen etc, they stick pretty well with the contract, the money is in the bank every month. They also try to accommodate your needs e.g. to operate LAX flights.
The downside is the medical but if you're under 50 and fit it should not present a problem. Normally you don't fly more than 80 block per month, and that is all double crew.
