Talking BCA

Hello, I talk to a friend that is there told me they are only training Chinese Pilots for A330 right now. Not sure when they will open it up for Foreign pilots. I see now the age cutoff is 55 i thought before it was 57 not sure if it changed.

In 2016 I am sure there will be a major pilot shortage of qualified A330 captains World Wide because Air Bus will deliver 50 A350 this year 2015 , 800 next year 2016 and 100 then year after 2017. I don't think other airline will retire the A330, instead fly more and need more Captains and pilots...!

I also think China will move the retirement age to 65 for pilots next year.

Just my thoughts..ha.

Happy flights..!
