@pilotchute you have a valid point!what is the process of validation of foreign license in china?But we atleast know the company is not a scam as someone has already attended a screening with them!Has anyone received an invitation for FO screening?
The only FO job I have seen in China open to foreigners is China Postal Airlines. I think about 3000 hours 737 was the minimum. A couple of Biz jet operators have also advertised for FO's but again high time on type needed.
If it's genuine that's great but I have doubts.

Non rated A300-600 Capt
I have just received an email from pilot career regarding next stage of recruitment process in Germany.
I was just wondering dose anyone knows if you pass your interview and sim evaluation in Germany and then your chines ATPL and medical and undergoing type rating course in Berlin as I understood , are they gonna issue you chines ATPL and endorse your A300-600 rating on it or you have to keep your own JAA/ICAO/FAA license valid and fly in China with validation

hi all,
i m also invited for screening, FO. already spoke with a guy from the recruiting company in Germany, Pilot Careers. still, i have my doubts. can someone who actually went thru the screening conform please if this is legit or not.
i do have ATPL, lil bit of 737 jet time, and some 3000 hrs TT but the ads for the job and the regulations in china just don't match.
i m more inclined to thinking it's another scam to take advantage of desperate low timers

along with details of what the sim session includes, the PDF file they sent contains this vague section which talks about participation fee for the screening. it does not explicitly state if that is amount paid by the candidate of not. i have asked for explanation and i m waiting for reply.
the amount is 1190 euro
whole thing is fishy !

well, it's confirmed. i just got my reply from recruiter. they r indeed asking us to pay the 1190 euro for the screening. i m out guys
just ask urselves why would Unitop want the candidate to pay 1200 for screening while offering free type rating worth tens of thousands of euros. it doesn't add up
probably its just a cheap trick of collecting 1200 euro from a bunch of desperate low hr dudes.

Hi all,
I've also been invited, but the more I look into pilotcareer.aero the more I can not find. One note for people is that the sim assessment is being carried out on a fixed base simulator (probably not even certified FNPT2 from what I can find) which according to the website only cost €99 per 30 mins. Not enough to justify the €1190 that this company is asking assessment.
So literally this is not adding up...
Does anyone has anymore info?

says 3000TT for FO and 5000TT for PIC. Seems more like it.
There's also an email adress of the recruiting supervisior. He of all should know whats going on.

Be Careful!
Hi all,
This job seems to good to be true, please don't send them any money. There is no way a low time pilot can work in china as a first officer. I have been in this business for to long.
In hong kong or Macao a low time pilot can get a validation but no way in China.
Good luck

I'm curious and concerned as well with the validity of this pilot recruiting. I am hesitant to apply and have also contacted Uni-Top regarding this third party company (No reply back yet). Here is my two cents on why I think they could be a scam. Their website does not specifically imply they are recruiting for Uni-Top they merely say A300-600 pilots out of Wuhan, China. Which we all know from a little research they mean Uni-Top however if you look at a similar company like Rishworthaviation they not only tell you what airplane and position but what airline and other details. Rishworth also does recruiting for many different airlines not just "A300-600 pilots".
Has anyone scrolled to the bottom of the pilotcareers website and looked at the bottom of any page and read the "Imprint" page. Their disclaimers are so short and to the point they basically say they are not responsible for any content on this website or the validity of the information. I don't want to elaborate too much you should read it for yourself it's quite concerning.
For those of you who have applied and gotten a reply back saying they initially accepted you would you all post your total time so we can all get a feel for who their accepting. Also if they have not accepted anyone can come forward and admit. I'm sure if you were not accepted it would be embarrassing to come here and post but it would increase the credit ability of this company.
If this is indeed a scam it is a well thought out way to get people to pay money for a possibility of a promised job.

Congrats on all that I hope the best of luck to your position and would love to hear the outcome. May I ask your TT? I however do believe a phone interview could easily be faked.

Got today as well a letter to invite me to send copy of licence etc. I guess this is a scam. Strange on that on the agency website they are only recruiting for the A300 and not mentioning the name of the company they are recruiting for. I'm also curious of the reaction of uni top on some of the posters request to clear things up.
