TWD which kinda sucks and they is no protection. Training pay is in USD though.
2. What is the pay for Year 2 and Year 3?
Same
3. Understand that a local's seniority starts their first day as a cadet pilot. That aside, are locals and expats on the same seniority list?
Nope, expats seniority is counted as 1 month for every 2 months. but you get your seniority back if you start working with them directly after 3 years.
3a. Is bidding/scheduling/upgrading follow the seniority list, or it based on "merit" ?
combination of both from what i heard. but seniority is not going to get bypassed.

you do get about 10 days off at home too
5. Can you switch between commuting and non commuting options for different months?
hmm they are flexible from what i know
6. How difficult is it to convert from expat on a contract to employee status?
have to wait 3 years
7. How is your initial fleet type determined?
