I never said that you said this. I'm telling you what I know from the guys working there. If your in love with CSA that's good for you.
Yes, cargo does suck. Frequent delays, backside of the clock, boring crews. As your well aware also that the hotels suck. They put you in one of the worst places in JFK, Flushing area of Queens. And normally it's a hotel that's connected with some Chinese restaurant.
The foreigners (laowai) get all the trips the Chinese don't want. And the company is VERY inflexible.
Your required to have 48 hours no duty after coming back to china from a USA trip. So if your 10 days off begins after the 48 hours, which would give you 12 days right? Well the company won't let you go until your 48 hours is up. Wanna fly CSA home while your on those 48 hours rest? Forget it.
That guy that got screamed at by the instructor on 787, they offered him the 777 then when the checker complained they terminated him.
Lax base not gonna happen anytime soon and forget Vancouver or JFK
The only thing stopping me is if I goto HK for this job I won't get home much.
