China Southern is hiring

They need 747/777/787 and A330 crews. 18,000 USD a month.

The big deal, for some anyway, is that relief time counts as PIC. You will be converted if need be. In other words if you are currently on 747 they can put you on 777 or 787 at their cost. This could be good if you'd like to stay on Boeings.

Guangzhou is two hours train ride from Hong Kong.

There are base opportunities available.

Best of luck

Clean Toilets

Trying to get back on thread, I was very impressed (surprised) to see that the aircraft toilet was very clean, no water or paper towels on the floor, and, even more impressive, there were no shoe-prints on the toilet seat.

Don't dream! Deadheading for Captains is in economy class! NOT in business! So AVOID this kind of treatment

If you cant fly a single engine raw data and fly manually with failures such as a stabilizer inop(no manual trim either) and fly a non precision approach then dont bother.

This is the same company caught with over 200 pilots (probably many more not caught) with parker pen time in their logbooks right?

Post 10 pretty much sums up the sim ride. Only 5 of 15 737 captains on the screening got through, seems pass rate may be dependent on instructor you get, luck of the draw.
A number of posts imply that those who fail are the bitter ones who post here, not so. There are a number of very experienced pilots who have been knocked back for no apparent reason and the applicants level of experience is far greater than most on pprune can imagine, many captains were over 15,000 hours with the least having more than 8000 hours this together with more than 50% of captains being instructors. They were by majority all with major carriers not tin pot third world contract companies so don't think they failed because of flying experience. It is one of the best experiences of a 25 year career so far, but every applicant needs to understand the application process requires many more hours study than anyone who has not completed the process will ever know.
Happy to answer PM's if you would like more information.

Step 1: Go to Asia /Far east forum, look at all the negative comments about working for Chinese airlines

Step 2: Convince yourself that these guys are all just bitter and twisted, and that it will be different for you because you're a top gun and you'll fit in, hell, you'll even learn the lingo, knee how.

Step 3: Attend the interview, somehow pass the Shuttle commander sim ride, and the NASA medical

Step 4: Sign the contract, go to the men's room, evacuate your bowels, and use the contract to wipe your ar5e, because that is what your new employer will be doing with their copy.

Step 5: Welcome to the "I've been shafted by the Chinese" club, it's a big one

Enjoy

Alternatively, stay in CX/KA and get shafted there.

Killaroo, the essential differences are that you at least have partial recourse to a Cx/KA shafting and that it happens at a measured pace. On the mainland it is adhoc, without recourse and often without reason.

Not an easy place to work.
