Thanks for the reply... few questions about specifics.

Was told the Chinese don't do that like the Japanese do, I'm at 33. Is it an unwritten rule?

I'm good on those ends.

Even when contract is up.
That wouldn't be an issue, SF seems like it's poised to become China's answer to FedEx based on my research, which is a place that would work for many years for me, particularly given my personal situation(s).

Good Luck.
Granted no 757 type now (looks like July is when I start) so I suppose they would still be willing to start talking to me and getting through the basics... is the ATP based on the US ATP? Any question bank / study guide available? I've heard stories about the Sim Evals having a very high workload, any insight on that? Not necessarily concerned but nice to be prepared.
