to this website, i am a green hand, i really don't know the rules and regulations here. and i find here just by google. and i even don't know how to use PM function here. But i go here just want to find qualified candidates by our company, for we don't want to hire from agent this time.

If you're interested then try Great Wall as we do hire FO's at the moment and we are slowly being rolled into China Cargo, so the end result may be the same.

I'm not sure what Cargoking can say about the future, but we've heard that they are looking at rolling us, olus one other B744 operation into a very large all cargo outfit flying B777's and B744's. The word is 40 aircraft within a few years. There is a heck of a lot of cargo into and out of China and Chinese carriers account for a fairly small percentage. Because of that the gov't wants to create a massive (two actually, with the AC/CX cargo deal) outfit to handle a much bigger piece of the pie. The merger is coming along very slowly though, which is good as what we first heard was going to happen, a very rapid amalgamation, would have been a disaster.

Could be fun. . . we'll see.

Anyway, as far as Great Wall, I like the place and the contract is pretty good; better as far as consecutive home leave days as the others over here, and at least as good with annual leave. I'm not sure what the reality is as far as pay at some of the other operations but we do pretty well here, and the housing allowance will either give you some extra cash or a very nice apartment in Shanghai (we get 14000 per month plus 5000 RMB for travel per month and a reasonable education allowance of 10000 per month). We also happen to have a VP Ops who is very good; easily one of the best I've ever dealt with.

Thanks Koru...much appreciated. I saw on GWA website that there are seperate pay scales for "Typed" Captains and "Non-Typed" Captains...are you hiring "Non-Typed" Captains as Cruise Captains and if so what are the company minns? Are there any upgrades where your at? Thanks in advance.

Very helpful posts all. Could you tell me where the candidates with 74, 777, and A330 types and PIC time are being recruited from?

We just had a guy from Delta come over, so that's two of them now. In th past many guys from China Airlines out of Taiwan. A couple off of recent KAL contracts who weren't picked up by them again (odd as KAL is hiring and the contracts good. The last one to come over is pretty good so not sure what the problem was with KAL). A few of us FO's from Air NZ. A couple from SQ recently.

Spoke with some UPS guy's who are interested due to the proposed lay off's there, but considering they just bought a bunch of 744F's one has to wonder if the company is just blowing smoke.
