Default Getting a job in China with min. requirement.

So I spent about 20 minutes writing my message
to only find that it can't be submitted

Anyways, my questions were:

1) What are the chance of getting an F/O position in China with the absolute minimum requirement, that is 1000TT & 500 on type?
Has anyone heard of this case? If so, when did it happen??

2) I heard it from a number of my Chinese friends that the Chinese airlines don't trust hours gained in some parts of the world.
An example being South East Asia like the Philippines and Indonesia,
because there are too many pilots with fake hours.
Again, has anyone heard of this case? If so, when did it happen??

Any information would be very appreciated.

Thank you very much for your time.

The mins for these jobs are 1000TT... Most are 2000 to 3000TT and 500 hours in type.
Also you need an ATP... In the USA you need 1500TT to get an ATP, dont know about the rest of the world.
If you have an ATP and 500 in type... send your stuff into a contract company. They are hurting for people bad in China because of that time in type requirement.

WARNING !!!!!! POSSIBLE MASSIVE THREAD DRIFT TO ENSUE!!!!!

But unless things have changed, being typed (either SIC OR PIC) on the aircraft but with the proverbial circling restriction can be a showstopper. Like I said, unless things have changed.

Granted, it is getting slightly easier to go to a Flight Safety center and get it lifted in some circumstances. But when guys from my shop were applying for some contract gigs in China a while ago, it was an issue.

If you want to take a shot at China.. apply through the contract companies handling that.. WASINC, Rishworth, etc... they are listed on the homepage here..
