Recruitment for China

[purple head]

yeah i know the guys from HK, we did our chinese CPL and IR at CAFUC together, just i did not really count them as "foreign"
Hainan i think has some foreign captains, but certainly not FO's.

Purple head, what sort of hours did you have before joining an airline in China as F/O? Did you have a lot of time on type? And where is CAFUC?

The Aussie voice you heard using a Hainan callsign would actually have been a Hong Kong Airlines (a Hainan subsidiary) wet lease for HU.

there're around 8 ~10 FO's from hk and macau working for Donghai airlines at shenzhen. 1 FO from Hong Kong working with shenzhen airlines too.

There are many FOs from HK and Macau who are working for Donghai and other Chinese airlines as well, but technically they are still from China. The companies might call them international or foreign pilots but in actuality they really are Chinese. I personally wouldn't include them in the count for foreign FOs as they all have the special talent of speaking Chinese. This is definitely a bonus skill to have when seeking employment with a Chinese airline. DeerJet has a couple of foreign FO kiwis ex-instructors from PanAm flying biz jets. Lots of foreign instructors needed at PanAm and also a flight school in Binzhou near Qingdao I think.

About 70% stake in Hong Kong Airlines (formerly known as CR Airways) is purchased by the state-run parent company of Hainan Airlines. HK airlines has many foreign Captains.

CAFUC - Civil Aviation Flight University of China; largest flight school in the world, located in a small town in the middle of no where in Guanghan, Sichuan near Chengdu.

less than 300 hours total time, straight from flight school, but its a case of right (or wrong depending on how you look at it) place at the right time. it would not happen like this at my company now.

anybody have any info about hiring expat CFI for Civil Aviation Flight University of China? (Welcome to Civil Aviation Flight University of China)

when i was there a year ago there was no foreign instructors, i heard they had one guy a few years ago, but things did not work out and they got rid of him. (Only one ATC guy speaks English, most of the flight instructors there don't speak English) I'd be supprised if they took any new foreign flight instructors.

I am from Hong Kong with CPL/IR and abt 280TT, i can speak english, mandarin and cantonese.....

current finding very hard to find any jobs in Oz and asia pacific, do i have any chance to get into any airlines in china?

[purple head]

Try the cargo airline in Shenzhen, Dong Hai Airline they took HK pilots with the same hours as you a year or so ago. They fly 737 EFIS or classic, i forget.

[King Air]

Try to avoid donghai airlines

I spoke to them in January ... they're not hiring any foreign instructors at the moment.
