Will check PMs.

I would reapply to the Personnel office. Things do change and I think some answers may be forthcoming. There was talk of some new bases in some fleets are I've run into a number of new people in the crew room and walking around the various offices at the crew center in downtown Taipei where CAL has the SIMs, training departments, and pilot and cabin crew facilities.


As for anybody's personal chances of getting hired and getting an interview, I don't think they will allow any of us to find out how a specific person is progressing (Or not). I think it is a privacy thing.

I am heading for ANC again tonight for a few days. Not looking forward to rain and cold weather. Taipei's hot summer is cooling off and the days get up to about 28C/82F. The last few days have been beautiful.

And for the chronic complainers,I/we are eagerly awaiting your information about how bad the world is. Seems like some people are not very happy in anything they do.

Hey Jim
 

Is there anyway an applicant could find out how their application is progressing? I just checked and my last application (to which I've not had a reply) went in on the 17th of January 2003. I've just completed the forms again (and kept a copy this time) and will mail them on monday. You reckon I should follow it up or what's the ettiquette there? :ok:

Greetings from cold rainy Anchorage.

The qualifications posted are not necessarily requirements as I understand it. Most people exceed them in one category or another. There are people hired without a specific type rating because they had experience in other airplanes or check airmen capabilities.
A lot of recent hires had thousands of hours in 737s and 146s. CAL operates the 737-800 and no 146s. Even some 737 Captains ended up on the 744 as Captain or F/Os. So I would not hestitate to apply and follow up on my application.

I am not sure there is a protocol. I think most personnel offices want to see interest without overwhelming them. More hours, a new ratings, a change of address,etc. would be a good way to make sure they know you are interested.

China Airlines careers web site info
 

I can’t find the China Airlines careers web site, I wonder if anyone will be able to provide the link...:confused:

Is there any other way to apply for a job with China Airlines?

Thanks for the info.

:ok:

Career link not displayed.

Thanks for the info Goofyfoot however it seems that the career link is not displayed there anymore. Maybe the link has been removed or they are not accepting any more applicants at this time. :{
Thanks anyway.

Thanks FC
 

Got it !! Thank you FC...:ok:

cal new breed,

moral at cal is at a rock bottom low! believe me i know what i am talking about!

the expat maybe getting a pay increase but, not for the local pilots! there is a huge pay difference between the expat and the local which the expat are paid lots lots more than the local pilots.

DFO Chou is destroying CAL's moral ever since he joined the company.

having been there for 6 years, i know a lot more about cal than you and jim can imagine.

ETOPS777 or anybody...I am not the spokesman for China Airlines or anybody except myself. I am a line pilot who enjoys China Airlines and the job I currently hold.

I don't ask anybody about personal questions of what they make nor how they view their jobs.

All of us who take the employment here and other places do so voluntarily,so I don't understand what the problem is that certain people face. No local I have flown with has been less than happy and they don't spend hours complaining about the things that some seem to complain about in this thread.

Some new people started in a pilot class a few weeks ago and some others started yesterday. I wish them and you all sucess in what you do.

For this portion of my life, it has been nice and I am enjoying it.

I'll promise you that if I find that I am not being treated fairly or honestly, you'll be the first to know!

There is plenty of flying here and I head to North America twice in the next in the next 7 days. On one of the trips I fly with two newly hired expats,so we have plenty of time so talk over the world's problems.

And while I am thinking of it, I can tell you that I have enjoyed the locals I have flown with also and I think them with me. While language sometimes is better or worse with some, we talk about everything from world politics, Mainland China politics, to George Bush , to the American Economy, and many things that might surprise you.

...kinda futile to ask....but would almost 2000 hrs of piston time be enough to get in ?
