Hi people,
does anybody has any experience or hard facts about this job offer with Xiamen?:

For Option 1, China residency

An all in yearly package totaling 506,000 US$ per year before tax

Before tax remuneration is based on an all in after tax package (averaged over 6 years) of 322,800 US$ per year at a Chinese taxation rate of 36.2 %. Higher home taxation rates would increase the before tax remuneration level. The net of tax package encompasses the following:

a monthly remuneration package, including allowance and bonuses, averaging 26,900 US$ net of taxes as follows:
for 75 block hours per calendar month, a monthly salary of 21,889 US$ net of Chinese taxes.

a yearly safety bonus net of Chinese taxes of 24,000 US $ per year.
forty two days of paid vacation per twelve months of service;
the benefits listed below.

Can this possibly be true??::eek:

Thanks for any info about it.

I saw the add too. Is anyone here flying for Xiamen? The pay looks great and also learnt that Xiamen was ranked second most suitable city for living (some 9 years ago, but still).
So waiting for guys already there to give us some info.

I have a friend flying for Xiamen. Very well respected captain for them. He'll help you through the process and give you all the ins and outs of the airline. I was headed out there but things changed here. Visited about a year ago to meet my friend and check out the city. For China, pretty laid back. Short hop to Hong Kong, and they have a couple of international routes also. PM me and I'll give you his info. He's trustworthy and a straight shooter.

Hello people

I did apply for Xiamen Airlines. I had a look at the draft copy of the contract and it does say the salary is GROSS but that the airline will take care of taxes etc . Well, still uncertain how much does the pilot effectively get NET per month. If someone from inside could help me out would be great , this is a big change for our lives... you know..

Thank you in advance
Best regards

The remuneration shown is the same as the agencies are showing on their webpages , you can easily check this. Thing is, on the contract it says that salaries shown on ANNEX A ( the annex attached to the contract ) are GROSS and the company will take care of taxation in China.Well, even so, still gross. I am trying to clarify this because as the contract is written they will deduct taxes from the salary they are showing you.

On a side note: Are the commuting options actually working with Xiamen or any other operator hiring 737 PICs in China?

Hey guys, has anyone used CAE for Xiamen jobs?

[StinkyMonkey]

Does anyone know if Xiamen is planning on hiring foreign pilots on the 787?

[RG500]

Does anyone know if Xiamen is planning on hiring foreign pilots on the 787?

Probably will never happen.
Current 787 Chinese pilots have been "invited" onto the fleet, meaning they've been chosen.
There has been a yearly (3, now) survey given to select number of the foreign pilots regarding their interest on going onto the fleet, but they have a stringent criteria and have had to have been with the company for 2 years and willing to sign on for a contract extension.
