Yes I just heard it's official at Beijing Capital and Tinjian Airlines (others in HNA group too?). Foreign pilots put on unpaid leave or a $200 per day retainer. "Force Majeure" is being used. I wonder where that leaves the pilots contractually? They can surely just leave without a notice period if they want to if the company is forcing the reduced pay?

SPEAK TO Guys at China eastern, maybe not an announcement but being let go and no renewals.
CSA has recruits in last 3 years, and has had many failures.
BCA pilots told sign new contract or face consequences
WA new contract , pilots being forced onto with loss up to $38k per annum.
sichuan claim to be recruiting but have not done so.
adverts by agencies mean nothing, and many offer what is not there to attract when in fact there are no jobs.
facts ....

Expats are always the first to get the chop in a down turn, converting to local terms may well secure your position, it’s not unreasonable to ask what local terms are. If they aren’t too far behind, such as Singapore Airlines for example, then greater job security might swing it for some people.
This crisis will end eventually and things should ramp up again reasonably quickly.

All things will eventually end. Doubtful they will ever be able to attract and recruit suitable candidates in the future now after this latest furlough round.

Sorry but the above comment is based on what? oh yeah, gossip. Chinese society will start to get back to normal (in terms of open shops, roads, venues) in under a month. Max flight schedules possibly 3 months. In about 6 months, it will be like nothing happened. The Chinese cannot survive like this and the CPC knows they need to get everyone back to their jobs. With that, air travel will slowly start to return to normal.
The situation in China is clearly out of control - plenty of videos online that back that up.
Their delayed and ineffective response has allowed this virus to spread globally. The WHO is finally starting to admit the truth after spending the last month pandering to the Chinese.
A team from the CDC has not been allowed to travel to China - the only thing that makes sense is that allowing them in will expose the true extent of the situation.
The published figures are just the tip of the iceberg - probably limited by the number of tests/day their labs can handle. They are not testing people who died outside their hospitals - so they are not being counted in the published figures.
What is happening on the Diamond Princess gives a good indication of what is probably taking place in Chinese cities.
The economic impact of this should not be underestimated - I would expect severe supply chain problems globally with all the associated knock-on effects.
