Jade Deal
Hello.
I'm an experienced 767 captain looking for a change, Jade's recruiting website looks very interesting and precise, something unusual in airline websites. I have a decent job but I'm ready for a change and China looks interesting. Can anyone shed some light on Jade's deal? how long it takes to get an answer once you've filled their online application form? rostering, commuting or residence? family life in shenzhen, schedule stabiltity, hours per month and future outlook, if you commute can you get an UPG? positioning. etc.
I'd appreciate any info.
Best Regards.

Tried the search function?
Heaps of interesting background, certainly not the happiest of places in recent times so it would seem.
Has it improved?? Would certainly be interesting to hear the current views from those there.

and yes galdian, I've read all the threads, good and bad, the trend from the latest posts seem to indicate that things have improved. As said before, we'll just have to wait and see.
Best regards

I'm not sure about the company's immaturity or what the situation is with their Human Resources people, but I guess they most be overwhelmed with applications and will start sendind out responses soon.
I bet they received tons of applications in the last three weeks, you see richard, what you read on PPrune and what actually happens in actual reality are two vastly different things. At least 90% of the rubbish you read here, is made up by people who have an axe to grind.

Thanks zazoo:
I've noticed the badmouthing, I guess If you've been in the business for a while you have to be be able to filter the info, impossible to keep averybody happy, specially if you work in an expat enviroment. In my case I just want good, down to earth info, good or bad I presume that I'll be able to analize it, and then make a sound decision, as the FCTM says.
Whatever comes out of this thread, I just hope that whoever is interested can use the info to the best of his/her advantage
Best Regards

I got my response less then 24 hours after my online application for the selection in DEC. Then sent in my info the next day, and received my invitation 2 days after.
May be mine is a bit different to you guys, I am a FO, not Capt.
Seems the package is very sounds to me, but have to wait until I got the contract in hand to confirm.

Company Seal
Never seen that before, in the states at least. Is that getting official statements about your flying hours from the company, getting your logbook notarized, or something else?
