Get yourselves to China and commute? Really?

Notwithstanding your honest first hand feedback of FZ, I don't think China is the place for any longer term plans. A stop gap perhaps or for those close to retirement.

Flown with many who have flown in China and very few stay longer than a few years before packing it in. I guess the odd left seat contract from your home base could work but not sure how many positions of that type are available.

Sad to hear about the degradation of FZ and specifically that tragic accident, but was it ever the first choice in the region? Short haul/night/turn arounds are never going to be wildly appealing. I think your thoughts on a quick command and moving on are accurate. Otherwise, EK,EY,QR are much better longer term options, even starting as an FO- no doubt.
