China Southern Airlines

Think twice about joining China Southern, whether you are type rated or not. Joining 777, 787 or A330 as direct-entry captain, a new contract is being issued which, although it includes an incremental pay increase over four years, also includes a clause stating that if you fail a simulator check, you are automatically demoted to F/O for approximately six months (depends on how much actual seat time you log as F/O after the demotion), and your pay is chopped all the way down to $6,000 (USD) per month during the entire period of demotion. If you are enjoying a reverse-roster arrangement, that goes away during the demotion as well. Sim checks can be very subjective and are administered by local Chinese examiners.

If word gets around the global pilot community, recruitment will dry up and China Southern will get the message.
