Poster thanks for the informative post, very well explained.
The way I see it is one should inform himself very well on the country where he is about to venture BEFORE going for a job (unless you desperately need one of course)...many times when I read experiences or comments about a contract like this one, you see the exact pattern you would expect from the system and the mentality of the country. The same goes for China and a lot of other places that now offer jobs to western pilots.
It is not the west and you will deal with local structures, patterns and approaches which will be VERY far away from flying in the US or Europe where decades and decades ago aviation developed to what it is now thanks to learning from accidents and mistakes and an open and just report system of events. One should be very aware that the salary you will get is intended to compensate you for your willingness to operate to very different standards as well as flying from A to B.
This is how I see it and very happy to be correctd.
