Thank you lune for your very informative post. Will help some folks to shape their decision...

Thanks Lune,
I appreciate you taking the time to write an informative post.
As far as future demand in China for narrow body expat Captains goes, I heard ( probably on pprune) that there has been a legislative change with respect to the low cost carrier business model in China and that will have the effect of increasing the number of airframes over the next decade.
Does anyone know if that is accurate?
Cheers

I just re read your post.
