Have an interview coming up.

Wonder if any guys working in this outfit can provide more infos.

Interview is a mere formality. You must prepare to pass your Chinese ATPL examination and stringent medical tests. ICAO radio telephony test is routine stuff.

If you failed the ATPL exam, you are logged out for about a month. Retake depends on the next available date.

Company doctor can help to facilitate a smooth medical, but cannot help if you have high sugar level or borderline stress ECG.

There have been cases of guys failing to meet national security clearance, not wise to quit your current job.

After simulator, minimum line training required.

Be prepared for constant scheduled changes, mainly due to AOGs. Never pack for one day layover.

Management likes to be appreciated if you know what it means. Be a good team player. Make sure you know the team sports.:p

Good luck.:ok:

Gengis,you are right,:D
I enjoy Shanghai,many nice pubs and clubs (Zapatas is nmb1 on Wednesday's):ok:
Regarding company culture (people like Gengis1,2...) if you treat them as a retarded kids everything is fine then...

Sup guys. I'm a current 747 classic capt with about 500ish hours in the left seat w/ over 7000hrs TT and over 2000hrs heavy international. what's my odds of getting hired at greatwall as a DEC or FO?

guys,

is very simple ... don't go in China.... is a deep ****

Read the previous pages, then ask again
 

To jimchi - Have you read the previous 7 pages?

Everything in this entire scenario from Cargo to Greatwall to
SQ has been built around the survival of the
Singapore state.

This is the brainchild of the Old Man. Mere pilots are a waste of
time and effort.

Great Wall
I know the cargo business is way down these days, did they stop hiring?

Anybody know what the terms and conditions are for FOs? I looked at previous threads and could not find anything.

Thanx

I went for the interview recently. All info are in this thread. Please PM me if you need more details.

new pilot
 

Hello... I have completed the total recruitment and am waiting to travel to shanghai.
I have found that everything that they have told me so far is correct. I have talked to two captains and two first officers... they all tell me that they have died and gone to heaven. I have found nothing to dissagree with that...
some one was making a comment about schedule changes... SO what if I am on duty then it is my job to do what the company needs right? What ever the head of the company does is his business. GW has a lot of money and they are persuing big plans... they are compensating me as I sit here waiting for sim slot... since the 8th december... so How is this bad? I think they are a great company with a good business plan and a lot of money behind them...

Report back in 6 months.

Cheers

... and after 6 month?

Please ask for a copy of your contract before you proceed to Shanghai.
Have a good read of the con-tract to see if what is promised is stated in the con-tract.
Many pilots have been disappointed when they received their con-tracts after stepping foot in Shanghai.
Promises are just promises. Some may not be fulfilled. But the contract is binding.

I don't know if a piece of paper can really change the way they think about expats! I am more then pleased if someone can prove I'm wrong!
