If you want to work in China..!!
If you are brand new and wanting to work in China you must find pilot recruitment agency to represent you. You should list yourself with 2 or 3 agencies and see what they have to offer.
The process will take some time and energy but will pay off in the end.
Remember your agency will be able to keep you updated on which airlines in China are hiring and what their requirements are.
Good Luck..!!

Working in China can be very rewarding, but the path leading there can be quite treacherous. My first suggestion would be to go with an established agency that is both well founded and has a presence in China.
It seems as though the Chinese are not quite as anxious for expat pilots as they once were, but if you analyze China's aviation growth curve you will see huge potential in the next decade and beyond.

My feelings exactly. In early 2008 I was even a little suspicious about the interest for me in China. Now I long for it. Hope it goes back to the way it was in early 2008.

With today's market? I think that it is very unlikely that you will find a 73 captain slot in the international arena with no command time on the airframe, here at the ANA contracts we are getting guys with 8k hours plus and a lot of PIC time applying for F/O positions, the captain slots are being taken by the 10k hours plus with 1k plus time in the airframes. Not too sure that you will manage a captain slot but I wish you luck

If you come to China, I would strongly recommend that you use an established agency with a management presence in China. My suggestion would be either VOR Holdings or WASINC. I know VOR Holdings is filling B737 positions with Shanghai Airlines, and WASINC has many Chinese contracts as well. I would say both are considered the "gold standard" of crew leasing companies in China, if there is such a thing.
Register your details with one of those agencies, and start compiling your paperwork. You will have a very challenging adventure ahead of you, but the rewards are great if you make it through the process.

If you want to work in China..!!
I remember when I started this post trying to express that it may be difficult to get a job in China without becoming a casualty of the process. I found a great post and replies with an update to Hainan Air recruitment I wanted to show you all. Here is the link:
http://www.pprune.org/south-asia-far...nt-update.html
I thought the details were very detailed and accurate to what the process is like. I also feel it would be good if people have a bad experience from an interview process to let us know here.
China is still hiring and the economy seems to be fairly good. Even though there are some factory shutting down here and there overall things are good.
The rub with getting a good job in China seems to be mainly in these areas.
1. Agency
2. Airline treating you fair and following agreements
3. Reimbursements
4. Poor contract terms
5. Misunderstandings leave the pilot holding the bag
6. Black balling pilots if they try to leave
7. Who is paying the tax
8. Chinese medical
9. Chinese written Exam
Just be careful and check out the agency and airline before you dive headfirst into it. You could waist months trying to land the job to end up with nothing in the end game.
Good Luck..!!

Expat 101.00
The airlines pay the recruiters, pilots don't. So should be no doubt as to whose allegence the recruiter respects. Same as a whore...expat 101
Choose your representation carefully, and don't buy the statement "pay for your travel and we will reimburse you on arrival". The oldest, scumbag ridden corn cob in the industry.
You have a great deal of pride and respect in your presentation and abilities, however, you are just another whore to most recruiters that are looking for an easy quid, buck, dinar, riyal, peso, or free taco.

I have seen the company, China Aviation Recruitment for 3 months or so on the net. I believe they are fairly new. I don't have any experience with them.
The company website is quite informative but I dont know if the 45 days to work in China is realistic. Looks like they will do a sim check with you and then contract your employment which is the first that I know of doing that.
Normally you travel to China for an informal interview and start the long process of wirrten test, Medical, Sim, paperwork etc.
Maybe someone else has some direct dealings with them.....................??

Anybody knows about the opportunities for NON AIRBUS/BOEING TYPE RATED in China?
I hear about Grand China but i accessed the WASINC website in read that need ERJ145/190 Type Rating.
I currently Cessna Citation type rated as a PIC and working as a Second Captain.
If necessary, PM me.
Thank for all and Happy New Year guys!

I really love it when new folks show up in this part of the world. It reminds me of the way I was back when I first fell off the boat in Asia.
For the first year, everything was "yes, yes....love you long time, blah, blah, blah" girls, employers, landlords....EVERYONE!
After a little time goes by....I think you get the picture.
Good luck, and give us an update after a year or two.

I have been receiving some PM's from low time non rated or low time 0 time in type pilots and dont have any leads for them. If anyone has any information for low time drivers it may be helpful to make a few posts here.
