My last 4 were on my last Chinese PC. LOL We get 3 practice days (4 hours) and then the 4 hour check ride. Unfortunately the 4 total days were back to back. Midnight to 4 am, then 4 am to 8 am. Two days in a row to make 4 days. Talk about a b@llbuster pair of all nighters. Luckily I had all the single engine raw data approaches to keep my awake.

The Chinese only know one way of business - their way. They actually treat expats better than they treat each other. They could care less how many expats they spend 200k to recruit. It is socialism, which means it is "someone else's money".

I enjoyed most of my time in China, but after all I saw, I still only recommend it to a pilot who has another, secure, job to go back too. A guy on a LOA or furlough from another airline. The money looks great on paper, but if you are med down for 4 months of every year, how does it look then?
