I met the owner of VOR holdings last year in NRT and left with a very favorable impression in terms of him being forthright in his dealings with contract crews. He's is a working line pilot himself (777 Capt.) and was recruiting for A320 positions in China. His son is working one of the contracts and likes it, as does his son's bride. He'll be the first to admit that the expat contract work is not for everyone, and was very up front about what VOR offers, and what they don't.

One thing he said that stuck with me was "Contract flying is very small world, and you can't afford to have a bad reputation." I thought that was pretty enlightened. Call and talk with them, I know he'd answer any question you have. They also have clinics throughout the year, a one-day Q&A to introduce those who are new to contract flying and help them make informed decision before you launch for China.

Not sure if that's the kind of info you were looking for, but I'd put the owner in the "good dude" category.
