Obviously you don't know much about Chinese Airlines and work rules. All Chinese pilots fly 900+ hours per year. Schedulers are rewarded for getting maximum productivity from their pilots ie if a pilot flies 998 hours per year then the scheduling department will receive a bonus as they were efficiently scheduling. You can always tell how long a pilot has been flying here
by asking his total time. If he has 10,000 hours he has been flying about 10 years, if he has 15,000 hours he has been flying 15 years and so on. This is not a profession for them it is a lifetime contract in which they are indebted and obligated to fly for their entire working lifetime as an employee for their employer's training and opportunity offered. You cannot quit a Chinese airline and change jobs as a Chinese employee, you are obligated both societally, legally and contractually to continue for your entire working lifetime with your employer. It is Hotel California batman, you check out but you can never LEAVE.
