We have had a major influx of news and inside information from 2-3 pilots who have quit or are quitting soon. We have also gotten a few stories from guys here at APC who shot over PM's so thanks for that as well.
Expect a second volume of F.U.D. to come out early next year along with multi-media offerings.
In short: China is NOT a long term solution; ya go there for a year or two, ride it for as long as you can stay sane, and then punch OUT before they punch you out. It is NOT a case of 'if' but a case of 'when' the sh!t will hit the fan.

Dear lawrd, the trove of photos, videos, memos and personal narratives we just got... It's going to take a while to sift through it all and shape it up into a presentation.

I lived in China about 10 years ago. Loved it. I don't know why I left really.
There were a lot of guys that came from Europe, N. America, etc. that came in thinking they were going to be living and working in an environment like they had come from. Well, it's not. Once you let go and accept it, it's a blast. Once you stop trying to go direct everywhere or trying to fix everything they do differently (well thats not how we did it in the US...)Communism has totally ruined the people. Its like they're collectively waking up from a deep sleep. Not all, just most. The new middle class. The educated, upper middle class are just like any westerner.
But as I skimmed though this book I could see people I remembered, the types that just had to go to McD's or KFC every time they saw one (bucket of chicken claws anyone?) or couldn't get over the spitting in public or smoking or bathhouses (yes, please) or traffic...It's the Orient. You are a stranger in a strange land.
This book just reinforces the stereotypes that tourists from the US are a bunch of DB nozzles.

LOL, 20 years of experience. This means the 'recruiter' is 20 years old and lives in China. Good luck on that.

Well with 7500TT, 1500 in the A320 series but only 800tpic from my regional days I guess I'm still not qualified. Oh well....
I really enjoyed your book though. I think I may know one of the E190 captains who contributed.
