China WestAir terminates foreign pilot
WestAir terminate foreign pilot
Looks like 10 FOs sent a letter about him and he is terminated on the spot. No notice or to asked to attend meeting to discuss.
Speaking to colleagues WestAir also trying to change contracts and they say that the contracts we're not translated correctly.

Sure it matters! What compelled 10 pilots to get together and complain about another pilot? There are two sides to this story, and it would be interesting to learn what constituted grounds for instant dismissal in this instance.
Notwithstanding the above: I agree with the OP about the harsh reality here in Asia, in that you do not always enjoy as many of the protections and benefits that employee-friendly labour laws in our home countries bring. Signing a contract here puts you at the mercy of unfamiliar and inaccessible local rules, and the employers interpretations of the same. As a foreigner, your poor understanding and begrudging acceptance of these rules is obvious, and this vulnerability may be exploited by less scrupulous employers.
The warning to be wary of China WestAir equally applies to any employer here. Caveat emptor, for lack of a better way to put it.
Safe flying
