I am a US FAA ATP MEL with Commercial Lighter than Air currently living and flying airships in Beijing for the upcoming Olympics. I have a total of 4,000 plus hours with most of that in MEL piston P-135 (P-31-350) with a bit of Turbo prop (King Air / Cheyenne III) and jet (L-24) mixed in. Knowing the market is booming in China, what is realistically needed to get on over here? Are you able to fly right seat without transferring the ATP to CAAC and how is the interview and sim rides taken care of? Like I said I am currently flying LTA and need to get current in the tin stuff. I have an offer to rejoin US flying P135 in AK, but I really feel the opportunities are vast over here. Any help and or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
