Over the years, I have had the occasional opportunity to chat with a few mainland pilots who worked for China Southern, China Eastern and Air China. From what limited exposure I gained, it seems that apart from a few cultural differences, they really are little different to us in many ways. I would have no objection to working with them providing Flt Ops Mgt insist there was to be absolutely no compromise on language and operating skills standards, and it was taught that 121.5 is not for chatting about the price of fish balls.

Just think of the advantages - when cx pay them 10% more than they are earning now, (the new ZGGG scale), money saved could be redistributed back to the rest of us in the form of, what was that word? yes SUBSTANTIAL pay rise!, and the directors get even bigger bonuses - everybody happy.

A win for the mainlanders, a win for cx, and a win for us. I reckon I should be the next DFO, what do you reckon?

Me love you, LongTime!

I'll support you, but only if you have a degree in zoology, write beautiful weekend missives without substance and can lie under oath.

What a load of crap

The bases will remain as they are until it costs too much.

It is still cheaper for the company to base crew than to employee them in HKG.
