I am in the process of securing dates to interview at BCA. I would like to get in contact with someone who is currently on the 4 on 4 off. If I could get some insight on this schedule it would be much appreciated. Thank you

From the agency email
Beijing Capital also offers A330 upgrade on their second contract to contract crews.
I understand minimum 3 years on 320; then maybe depends on your performance...

Don't believe what the agencies tell you. Their job is to get you to sign the initial contract, that's where the support will stop.And the promises.
Unless you get the upgrade to 330 in your contract (which you won't), the company will do what they want with you.
A few guys finishing their 2nd contracst were still not allowed to transition to the 330, or even swap their contract from 6/2 to 4/4.
It probably better to take one of the many direct CCQ 330 positions if you can. If your end goal is to fly the 330.
Good luck

BCA is probably the worst airline to join in China at this time. After numerous incidents particularly the triple bounce in Macau, the CAAC have come down hard on BCA and foreign pilots are suffering under a barrage of oral, written and simulator checks. Many foreign pilots have been failed and downgraded to satisfy CAAC check fail quotas. If you fail any check and are downgraded, you could spend up to a year in the right seat on reduced pay. Foreign pilots have been experiencing delays in payments no doubt due to HNA Group financial difficulties. Morale is at an all time low in BCA, stress is at an all time high. Many veteran BCA foreign pilots have left in recent past.
Forget about upgrade to A330 as there have been no courses offered for 2 years. BCA is experiencing route cuts, therefore new pilot recruitment is only to replace those leaving. The future of BCA could even be in doubt if there are any more serious incidents.
There are better options in China than BCA..
