Opinions of Jade Cargo

[Iver]

Hello All,

Are there opinions of Jade Cargo (747-400F operator) out of Shenzen, China? I know it is JV between Lufthansa Cargo and Shenzen Airlines and CP is German pilot. I have questions:

1. Anyone who works for Jade have opinion of operation?
2. What is likelihood of hiring European into FO seat if have minimum hours? Does Jade prefer Chinese or Asian vs. European?
3. Are all pilots living in Shenzen or do they have European domicile? If no, what is Shenzen like to live in?
4. Any reasons why someone should not consider Jade?

Thank you for any opinions and perspectives.

Thank you Ric. Good post. What type of backgrounds do most Europeans have who go to Jade? Do they have heavy time or LCC 737/Airbus backgrounds? I also heard that Air Atlanta Icelandic just lost pilots to Jade.

Also, is there no possibility of commuting from Europe - must you live in Shenzen to fly for Jade?

Whats the story with JADE contracting flying out to Evergreen Int'l. I just saw on our latest bid that 14 pilots are headed to 400 training for JADE.

Probably because the JADE contract is so great that they can´t crew their aircraft!

500 hours TT, flying an Aztec! Your kidding right?

You clearly have internet access so why don't you try looking up the mins on the Jade cargo website.

In case you can't I'd say chances of employment as FO approx 0%.
