Yeah...my bad...think I've got some dislexia today or something! China Airlines is the one whose new mgmt is rumored to be pushing for more taiwanese, instead of foreigners. Air China was the one who contracted with Sierra Academy of Aeronautics in Cali to do their cadet training.
They (China Airlines) have a pretty sweet ELO deal though, from what I've heard from some guys who rode nonrev on them once...you can apparently bid like 12 or 18 days off per month and ride biz class to MIA, LAX, YVR, FRA, etc...that's sweet for a foreigner if they hire any more foreigners!!!
