Another new destination has just been added to their network, its Dubai in the UAE to be served once weekly from Urumqi with a 757-200. CZ also fly to Sharjah in the UAE also from Urumqi.

Since there seems to be demand on the route I wonder if Emirates would be interested in flying to Urumqi, perhaps even connecting it with Almaty in Kazakhstan which they plan to start service to in 2004.

Up until a year or so ago I did the recurrent training for China Northern crews on the MD-90. Their junior F.O.s were lucky to fly 50 hours in a year ( talk about a handful in the sim ). So the prospect of them needing expats is extremely slim. China is not a market for expats as they don't need them unless it is for an introduction into service type of contract. Besides, a China Northern captain only makes $US1000 per month.
