Thank you indeed for updated info ZZ. Makes it really hard to take a decision. I would really like to have a contract now when I’m so far in the process but obviously I didn’t do my homework when applying for these in particular. I was kind of blinded about the BKK-opportunity offered and now I really don’t know if I have the power to go through it all again with another airline.

Spring
I am sorry to be so CLEAR....
When I was still flying for them they asked for people for BKK base.
We applied around 90 captains and only 5 were based there.... And no more aircrafts going to Thailand because of Chinesse corruption.....
I am sorry to tell you Spring is at this momment the WORST airline to work for in China....
You have higher salaries around (BCA;HNA; Long Air....) With better rosters and of course much higher standar hotels....
And also Spring is desperatr to quit people who is at 4/4 or 5/4 contract.... They didnt want us

There's a number of things that could be pointed out to cheer you up.

Sorry for bringing salt to your wound, but after you'd touched CAAC systems (medical, ATPL) you are locked with the airline. A release is usually possible only after finishing one's contract - if no bad luck is encountered. The CAAC themselves are apparently not too eager, local pilots get penalty points for transferring companies.

Even you finish your contract without any QAR; penalty or something they are not giving us the pappers .. .
Allready waiting the pappers from Spring 3 months!!!!!
And I am sure they wont do it until I call a lawyer...

And you can check it.
Ask ANY agency telling you bxxxxxxit about BKK base or any promise to write it down in your CONTRACT.
They will NEVER de that.
Any agency they will try to tell you that after being release; after one year; after.....
There was people allready on the company 7 years and they got 5 months ago BKK base and they were only 5 CPTs....
Is supossee to be a "seniority" at Spring...
1st Years of contract
2nd Type of contract (6/2 then 6/3 then 5/4.... But they removed 5/4 and 4/4)
3rd "Rank of Cpt" C;B;A.
Then... Any promisse is just that.... NEVER will happen
