sanya drought!!! if its not one thing its another. water and electricity are being turned off regularly now, wifey hasn't had water for 12 hours, they reckon another 2 weeks and we will have no water at all in the east of sanya until the end of july and thats with the luck of an early typhoon. lots of guys contemplating taking lots of leave at the moment or just getting out of there for a while, see what the company do?? gotta say, its worrying, no air con' as electric regularly gets shut off, 35 degrees and humid and can't shower

2 330s coming, one already painted etc, direct entry for 330 foreign guys which is pissing off the guys here but no chance of releasing 320 guys as we are too busy... thats a good thing!
For all you wannabeeees, yes they will hire for 330, yes they will be desperate but hainan airlines.... see advert above, its our parent company, they are about to increase their salary... substantially

hi john sorry, hotmail defunked, same but @gmail.com
330 is in sanya AOG at the moment pack conduit had a fliddy and slow decompression. 330 will fly internal, doing daily beijing sanya at the mo' eventually i think 3 times a week to copenhagen, Hainan stole the hangzhou LAX route as i said before, no chance of BCA getting a 180 ETOPS cert.
The hna deal sounds good in shenzhen, hna package is very good plus you are a taxi ride away from HK MRT. Drop me an email john
regards

Hello,
I was looking into the A330 Capt. position possibilities at BCA but up to now no word?
Has anyone heard when they will start recruiting for the A330?
Any info would be great..!
Happy Flight,
On Final

you will be getting paid a lot of money to be able to take a lot of time off, the 4&4 deal is what it says but there are restrictions during the busiest time just like any crappy western airline, expect that you will have your 28 days on spread over 2 months i.e. last 2 weeks in one month then the first 2 weeks next month, at this point you will work your socks off, 40 hours a week possibly, do the math's but you will get a lot of time off, around chinese new year there is an embargo on only being able to take 2 weeks but then take advantage of being able to take 5,6, maybe 8 weeks off if you double up or you can sell back some leave, anything over 550 hours pays 200 usd an hour so there is potential to earn a lot more than the basic amount if you want

not sure as yet but the rumour is that they will take direct entry captains 330, as you will find out the chinese are paranoid about mistakes no matter how tiny and they see native english speakers as the way ahead, i don't mean english people but collectively english as their first language, the crews here have a hard time understanding english speaking captains so you can imagine what the radio work is like when they go international and everything is standardised, the next 330 is supposed to be arriving soon, i will see if i can put the email address of our recruitment manager on here, i will have to get permission first

The Chinese don't do 100 hours/rolling 30 days. They do 100 hours in a calendar month. Working 4/4, you can work a LOT of hours in the 4 weeks on if each calendar month has 2 weeks in it.
I think most of the airlines offering this expect you to be "flexible" about when you do your sim sessions and medicals. Like, perhaps, right in the middle of your 4 weeks off.
They are paying you a bunch to work 4 weeks. They are going to squeeze every single dollar out of you.
When I was at BCA, I was 6/2. They now offer 6/3. The flying was efficient enough that you could probably work 6/3, and get well over 900 hours a year. That would be 250 hours of overtime under their current contract offer.
4/4 I don't think I would like because of my above concerns. But everyone has different priorities in life.
