Hey there Photon. Wow, that sucks. My mate at HKGXpress told me they had some Lion guys show up and that they were very low grade. I'll assume from what you are saying that they don't get much experience other than the number 500 in their log book.
Thanks for the correction. It does not sound like anything I'd call kosher.
My mate at HKGXpress, by the by was hired there with C208 and a bit of ATR 42 time. They payed for his rating and payed him. He's now at EK so not sure if Hainan is still doing thing's that way. . . they are not the most reputable empoyer in the Middle Kingdon.
