USMCProbe is right
Why would anyone work (or even consider working) for this airline?!
Living in China isnt easy, and this airline just changed the contract from a 6 weeks on / 2 weeks off contract to a non-commuting 40 day one.
Like Mercenario said, you WILL do 16 hour days. Flight time limitations are almost non-existant in China. You need that leave when it comes. 6/2 and 6/3 are the usual minimum standard in Asia commuting contracts. Why accept less?

Still needing info
It really depends if your looking for a commuting contract or not...
If you dont and your ready to live in Shanghai for a while its different.
I am still looking for someone actually working for them before I make my decision...
Thanks

Looking for more info...
As some of you might know, Air France is considering letting some of their pilots go for 2 to 3 years before re-hiring them with no loss of seniority in order to try and deal with their over-staff problems without having to fire anyone...
One of the ideas is to set them up as 320 Captains with JuneYao...
So, can anyone give me the real story as updated as possible on working for them as an expat ?
Either by PM or a reply on this forum ?
Thanks !

Juneyao lack of correctness
Hi guys,
keep your eyes wide open with this airline and in general with agencies like Smile-aviation.
My experience with them is absolutely negative.
I passed the assessment in Madrid on May 2012 and went to Shanghai on June for medical. Smile-Aviation informed me just 2 days before departure that I had to go to Nanjing also for the ATPL written test. They just gave me old material for exam preparation so in 2 days I (and most of the colleagues) failed the exam.
Regarding the medical I had a bad impression of Smile Aviation. Poor assistance and wrong informations. Doctors requested for me further exams (I had to pay cash for those extra) so I came back on August to complete the medical and ATPL. I passed the written test in Nanjing and went back home, waiting for the results of medical. After more than one month I emailed Smile-Aviation for info and they told me that I did not pass the medical. I asked the reason for that and they told me that "no one is entitled to know the reason of the refusal and no document is signed by the doctors regarding the diagnosys". Furthermore, the Airline do not want to send to me the certificate of ATPL written test so, if I want to apply with another airline in China I have to go again thru another exam!
The reason of this is that Juneyao decided to refuse captains over 50. I had started the assessment before this decision so they found an easy solution for me.
A lot of time, energies and money lost with Juneyao and Smile-Aviation!
My suggestion is to keep in consideration only serious agencies like VOR Holding and try assessment only with good airlines (example: Spring).
Juneyao will change conditions and rules every time they need, no matter about contract.
Take care and good luck!

Read what Mercenario and Juneyao capt wrote, Nothing to do with Juneyao? Not paying etc is everything to do with it. I do know someone there and has been for a while and says its OK and flying easy etc etc. If it helps I wasn't to keen though either.

Hard to say really, I registered with them but have no desire to go to China this exact minute since I've got a pretty stable contract.
2 of my friends applied for China through them, one came back from the medical very recently for Spring and the other one is applying for Air China and June Yao both through them.
I did a bit of research and know they have contractors all over Europe and the middle east.
As far as China couldn't tell you if they have anybody working there. From what I can tell I believe they picked up the contract some time in the Summer. Typically due to the fact that the Chinese have given their selection such a high failure rate, they are moaning that they can't find enough people and hired some more agencies to find them.
Best of luck for your medical btw USMC, what agency are you going through this time?

I am still with Parc and highly recommend them. For China, Wasinc is also good, and in some ways the best. They have a lot of experience in China with a lot of airlines and know the hiring process arguably the best. There are so many ways to fail the hiring process, it is much better to go with an agency that has a history of success. There are lots of fly by night websites in China trying to be recruiters.
