Question Any Info On Flying In China???

I have read the info on a previous thread about WASINC, but does any one have info on Shenzhen Airlines and WASINC, or Juneyao Airlines and U PLUS AVIATION Services?? If any one has any info on those comapanies or living in China to the commute. Much would be appreciated. Thanks

Stay away from small Chinese contractors like U Plus. WASINC was started to undercut HACS so I'll never have a high opinion of them, but they are certainly better than U Plus would be.

My two cents,


TP

TP and Fear The Turtle

Thanks. Mesa was suppose to be the commuter for Shenzhen. But I think they got the boot. Thanks for info on U Plus.

Greatly Appreciated the info.

Haven't heard of Net Compass. If they are a new contract agency then I would probably stay away unless they have some good backing or a sole contract right. The thing with contract agencies that you need to be aware of is they have to have the ability to eat a month's pay. If the client airline is late paying then it's up to the contract agency, and their bank balance, to pay you on time. The small agents can't do that. The PARCs, IASCOs, and other big ones can.

There is a good thread on APC dealing with contract agencies. You may want to look at that for further thoughts that have been written before.

Thanks for the info Typhoon,

How does one find more info about the backing for NetCompass, and if they have 'sole contract right'? (by the way I don't really know what that refers to, just a guess)

Do I just have to ask them and see if they try to impress me with their dance moves?

Thanks

Hey I wonder, does anybody has any info about China Eastern, or Ted Revis, vorholdings. Is true about the possible upgrades on the 330 340?

How is maintenance? Any insight?
