Default Another China Expat Package

Got this random email today.

Thought it was interesting to compare this to our HKG FDA LOA - even though this is for Shenzhen, not HKG.

Also - note the details of what they describe as a "Full Expat Package"

Just another bit of information that I thought would be good to pass on for comparison purposes.

Not saying either ours or this is better or worse - just passing on more information on what else is out there.

For what it's worth.

++++++++++++++++++++++++

$128K for a Captain...

FDX pays their F/O's that much.

Gee and we were worried about all those Chinese pilots coming to Fedex and fly our routes! Looks like they cant man their own airlines.

Hi!

That IS correct, they can NOT man their own airlines.

China needs 9,000 airline pilots in the next 3 years. THey produce 1,000 per year.

India is worse:
They need 11,000 airline pilots in the next 3 years.
Last year, they produced 150.

Asia is forecast to increase the number of freighter aircraft by 340%, to 419, through 2020. Who will fly them?
