The problem is the "C" on CEA....! What's risky about this whole deal is the uncertainty of the contract adherence.
There is no doubt that reverse roster in western cities will greatly increase the available pilot pool of applicants for many of these companies however, they have to overcome their cultural tendencies towards not having the need nor inclination to be accommodating to their employees.
Haven said that, I know a few Aussies that are on reverse roster patterns with airlines in China and seem to be pretty content.
Lots of research would be by recommendation folks....!
