We sacrifice and compromise a whole lot just considering the notion of moving to China. The eventual conclusion to such a debatable move would be what's next.
I guess what I'm trying to say is what is this going to look like in the logbook? The Chinese NTR game is quite new and eventually we will have a minor glut of guys who have navigated this maze of PIC categories. What exactly are their future employers going to look at when it comes time to tally the hours and the quality and category of experience that has been accumulated during their contract.
We are now dealing with a situation where we are blurring/redefining what a PIC can or cannot do. It might be well known in China but once folks decide to move on where will they stand in the grand scheme of things?
