There are several articles floating around about the severe pilot sortage China is facing. Chinese airlines have to hire foreign pilots and are having a hard time keeping up. My question is- Where are the pilots for this venture going to come from???? Will it be like Continental's situation in Guam, where they send the junior guys, or will they hire pilots from all over the planet and base them there?? Is pilot supply a consideration, or worry about that bridge when you get to it? any rumors, comments

cheers
From what I've heard, initially it looks like it is going to be operated by a Chinese-owned contract carrier doing business as NetJets China -- similar to what is currently set up with NetJets Middle-East.
