Company wont' let me go.

I'm currently working in an airliner in China. Due to some personal reasons, I decide to resign. Here in China especially big corps are highly manipulative. Any pilot intends to resign has to face at least 2 years of lawsuit from the company (they use long term lawsuit to deliberately delay time ). That's just the beginning. Since the employee starts to submit the resign paper, the company put him into a waiting pool. The company annually release 1% of the whole fleet which is approximately 3 pilots and therefore it takes another 3 years being grounded with no income. After the lawsuit, you end the labor relationship with the company, however the company hold all of your documents and license and stuff that without those files you can't find another pilot job within China. Now it seems doomed working in China in a period of time. I got my initial trainings in the states so I’m wondering if I can settle here for a few years , at least maintain my technical performance. Back in the flight school, I’ve gotten commercial license with IR. I’m wondering if that is still valid now ? Another problem is if my flying time and experience is accepted by other authorities?

Thanks.

If you have an FAA commercial certificate and instrument rating, it is still valid. You will just need a current FAA medical certificate and a flight review.

Do you have right to work in the US?
