Wasn't there a saying? Some other airlines can expand only as fast as EVA trains their pilots for them?

IT GOES DOWN TO MONEY, EVA DOES NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WANTS TO RAISE THE SALARY, DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT IT MUST BE WORKING FOR THEM, THEY GET RID OF EXPENSIVE PILOTS THAT LEAVE AND GUESS WHAT ? THE NEW ONES ARE PAID EVEN LESS, I WAS TOLD THAT THE LATEST GROUP OF CADETS DON'T EVEN HAVE A GUARANTEED MONTHLY FLYING HOURS. SO PEOPLE COME TAKE THE RATING BUILD UP TIME AND GO, THIS USED TO BE DONE ONLY BY THE EXPATS BUT NOW THE LOCALS ARE DOING IT AS WELL, SO INTERESTING TIMES AHEAD FOR THE PEOPLE ON THE 9TH, MY GUESS IS THEY WILL GET EXPAT FOs. WHO SOMEHOW ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE THESE WILL FLY 3 YEARS AND LEAVE STARTING THE CYCLE ALL OVER AGAIN.......TAKE CARE....THE CAPT

If it works for them and theres no shortage of young FO willing to do anything to get into the right seat, theres no reason to fear. They could be renamed the EVA Air Widebody Training Academy. And those who go in should know they have 3 years to get the rating, build up hours and get out of town.

One of my friend is local taiwanese with taiwanese license and B777 P2 rating only. He wanna quit due as exhausted with some issues of eva. Since Taiwanese CAA licence is not recognized by ICAO, my friend heard from rumor that the licence can be converted with FAA, but is it true to convert the B777 rating as well. Please any advise any method to getting ICAO license and rating.

Tell your friend (or is it you) to try Korean, they ( I think ) might accept the Taiwan License which in my opinion is as good as any license, it's just the politics that are in the way, Take care The Capt.....

EVA AIR
EVA is a well run professional operation.Only one big problem NO MONEY,and the housing is terrible.
Good training and interesting routes,the Taiwanese are ok.Taiwan is what you make it.I enjoyed my years there.As most first generation airlines start with ex-pats then the locals are trained and then it,s all thiers nothing new in this its just natural progession.
The pay will drive out and demoralize the remaining crews.
Good luck as it,s all saving face for the managment who live in constant fear of cost increases.They get thiers the crews get nothing just reduced days off.
