Fullforward, really!
One really shouldn't throw stones. "theirs in China is
worse than yours" 'Dear Fellow', indeed!
By the way, China Airlines is a Taiwanese carrier based in Taipei, not in China.

I know a young fellow who left here after the first year of a three year bond.
The total claimed by the company was nearly twice the original bond.
What's the bond? Whatever they like.
To give you an idea of what it is like.
They keep employing but the total numbers keep reducing because more are leaving than they can employ.
Can you gues why?
Come here as a captain and the salary is OK but, you have to be able to put up with them.
Don't go as an F/O

Some of you guys have had it too easy, I suppose. You can not imagine how bad things can be until you spend a week in the company I am serving my time with. No mater how bad you may think that China Airlines is, there is always a place that is that much worse, out there. Sadly I had to live through this for the last three years. Happy flying to all ...
Just my opinion.

Rob, who is so bad? and why? Let us know so we can steer clear of the place.
I am working for a Part 135 on demand company, on Lear Jets, out of Florida. I am really thankfull for the opportunity that I was given, specially just after 9/11, but after three years, having to lower my standards every day I get to fly one of these planes, If I spend any more time here, I will not have any standard left that I can talk about in public. And standards are not the most important thing that any body has to worry about in this type of companies. Small fact ( you know that thing called Minimum Equipment List, dont bother looking up, your pen will run out of ink by the time you are done writing up things ). Just look at it this way, you never know how bad things can get until one day you find yourself re-living a nightmare, that you created yourself, and you can not see going away any time soon.
See you airborne.

From Australia or is that a misprint?
If you have the right to work in OZ then quit your "ell on earth" Job and apply for something downunder!
At least be prepared to leave the states.
Anyway an FO posn with CAL might be a good move for you.
Good Luck

Le Pilot, I thank you for your advice mate. By the way no misprint there, proud to be an Ausie. The only reason I am here in the states is to FLY.
I am working on getting something back home - no luck so far.
I also have an application with CAL, waiting on an interview date.
By the way, has anybody received an invitation from CAL for an interview recently?
Thanks and Good Luck to you all.

CAL interview.
Hey BritishGuy, in regards to whether it is worth your while to apply to CAL, it's certainly worth a try. You never know. On a more negative note...I am currently flying a 737NG for a US carrier and I have about 4500 hours TT, 2500 in 737NG's and a 737 type and I can't seem to get an interview. Maybe it's fate telling me not to go! Maybe they just don't like Americans. :-)

Hi all,
I have just obtained an interview in mid-May with CAL. I have 3200 TT, 1700 B737. Which aircraft would I likely be flying if offered a position? Also are the negative posts on this forum regarding FO positions at CAL a fair reflection or just the normal cynical rubbish that pilot's spout? Any further info on CAL and life in TPE would be gratefully appreciated.
Best Regards

If you can accept to be tied in the RHS and local guys getting upgraded with 4000 hrs TT than you will have not bad life.
Getting onto the B747 is 95% sure as a lot of people left CAL and they are short of F/Os on this type.As I have heard some 40-50 new F/Os are needed for B747 in this year.

I think my experiences are not enough. but give me some comments about B737 F/O positions in CAL, sir!
TT1500, non ATPL, B737NG rating with 200hour in the airline.
Can I apply for B737NG F/O?
Thank you, Sir!

No one will go to the 737-800.The girls told me in the recruitment office,that 40-50 F/Os to the 747-400 and about 20 F/Os to the A340.
If you flew Boeings before,747 is the way,if you are from any Airbus than A340.
Some type-rated A300 crews also needed.CAL now opens ELO programs for LAX,YVR and FRA,it will make the life easier.

Well I got invited to interview about 3 working days after my application was sent in. That was 2 weeks ago and they offered me 4 different weeks to attend, from the end of April to the end of May.
