In DBMS (iCrew or eCrew), you will find what you're looking for under "Qualifications" and "Block Hours Flown."

Though a separate topic, you do bring up a good point. :cool:

Though I say, fly them on plenty of long and thin routes with the appropriate seats and amenities -- but flown by the company that sells the ticket.

The FAA Certified the design. That doesn't say much. The FAA Certified the MD88.

Delta's SkyTeam will add Xiamen Airlines, China’s sixth-largest airline, by the end of next year, it reported Thursday.

Based in Xiamen, a coastal city in East China’s Fujian province, Xiamen Airlines runs a network of domestic and regional services throughout China and Asia, predominantly from the hub airports of Xiamen, Fuzhou and Hangzhou.
Xiamen has more than 150 routes from its main hubs, covering most major and medium-sized cities in Greater China (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) as well as main cities in Southeast and Northeast Asia.

It has a fleet of 78 aircraft, but has plans to operate 136 by 2015 and expand into Australia, Europe and North America by 2014.

Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE: DAL) said the integration of Xiamen will be aided by major shareholder China Southern, the first Chinese airline that joined SkyTeam in 2007.

With plans to expand into North America by three of our Chinese Partners I wonder what we will have to give up "in good faith" to the newest partner? How many wide bodies do we have on order???

I dunno, but with living allowances and tax breaks, their 737 Captains make more than ours:

Salary band Any Salary details up to $176,000 usd per year
Location Asia
Job type Contract/Self-employed
Company AeroPersonnel Global
Job categories Airline Pilot Captain
