China: About 8 yrs ago, they paid max of about $12K/mo for small airbus capt. Now they pay max $20K. They also paid max of about $8K for ERJ capt. Now they pay max $18.5/mo for -190 capt and $15.5/mo for -145 capt.

Back then you had to move to China. Now they have a huge variety of commuting schedules. And, in the last few years, two Chinese airlines have started US basing for some capt positions.

The Chinese are now building 84 large airports. They are starting multiple new airlines per year. Their airlines are ordering THOUSANDS of new aircraft. They will not be exporting pilots anytime soon...probably not for 20+ years.
