I don't think EVA Air or CAL are gonna recruit expats again.
CAL has also stored three B744F in US, but they already returned one to TPE and the other two are coming back in the next months.
Anyway, Expats contracts are not renew to anyone at least for 2009 and according to the rumours no more renewel at all.
Their plan is to have a 100% local pilot force by 2012, from more than 300 expats in 2007 we are at this moment less than 80 and coming down month by month due the not contract renewal.
At this moment, CAL is training the last APQ group, 26 guys, so our replacements are already there.
Captains and Relief Pilots are flying the minimun or above guaranty flight time but FO are flying not more than 60 hrs per month.
For what I heard from EVA Air guys the situation is preaty the same for them.

Same for EVA as cosmiccomet stated for CAL. No new expats, probably ever, they have a ton of cadets waiting to start flying, and another ton in the pipeline waiting for a call out from their job at the 7-Eleven!!
Yes, another year of pay freeze, even though we're making money, hey, if you can do it once, why not do it forever!!!
Yes, perdiem going for turn-around flights. So the paltry $3 an hour we get now is breaking the bank and sending the company to the wall!?!?!
Unfortunately for everyone in both groups, getting rid of expats means getting rid of a backbone. The locals fold like a one dollar bill because the companies have put the fear of god into them and they want to keep their jobs!!
But Captain, you don't understand!!!

You sad excuse for a human being! You actually look forward to incidents and and and.... what?? Accidents? We are somebodys sons, fathers, kids...... And a lot of evil wishers are former EVA employees (or maybe just plain and simple evil minded idiots). The same EVA air who gave you 777,747,330 or maybe not so valuable MD11 rating. Most of you moved on to (in your eyes) better things just because of that fact. Yes, EVA has issues but to say you look forward to incidents and accidents is absolutely not right.

dabssa, agree with you 100%. EVA management do have serious issues they really need to address but wishing ill for others, not forgetting the innocent pax is totally out of line. Maybe, EVA must have been blessed to be rid of these blokes with such evil intent. Geeze!

We all have Jumped on the bandwagon some where in good times.
The question is why were you all there in the first place?
Put on the monkey suit and go through the interview years ago. Ignorance.
This is how the national pilots view the ex-pat. Take and Leave. Period.

Tell me which Airlines does not have a problem? What's the meaning of loss of expats pilots will lead to an increased in tailstrikes or a possible hull loss! Enlighten me on this. Does it mean only people from the west know how to fly an airplane?
What a load of craps! For those that have benefitted the experience of a widebody experience, ratings from 330 to 747, people should be graceful for having this opportunity and without EVA or China, you will still be flying little props.
Grow up guys.

In my short experience in China Airlines, I have flown with very good local pilots. As in any company around the world, you can find as holes and bad pilots.
And for telling the thruth, I have also flown with some expats who were not very good.
About the hard landings, it can happen to anyone at any moment, so it is not good to point out over other pilots hard landings.
It is much better attitude to try to learn from others mistakes.
CAL is not an expat job anymore, but I would not whish an accident or incident for them.
In the other hand, I see CAL's Pilot Union believes that erasing all the expatriates in Taiwan would solve their problems.

from ex-eva-pilot
It is definitly not nice to wishing any incident....and and and others terrible things to happen to anyone. Especially, to those who you had worked with or even called friends and had gone out together had diner or drink with once, are you really wishing they screw up or even worse things to happend to them!!!??? Where is your airmanship!!!??? Where is your professionalism!!!??? Where is you basic human conscience!!!??? Do you think passengers trust and want a person like you be their pilot? Do your friends, family, parents, wife or even son and daughter know what you are wishing for!!!??? Does your pastor aprove this? YOU MUST APOLOGIZE!
