Default Best Chinese airlines

I was wondering if anyone has experience working for a Chinese airline ? Particularly for a non rated pilot
I'm currently a regional f/o , no real turbine pic, any hope at all?

Try Yangtze River, they have hired NTR FOs in the past. China is mostly for type rated Captains.

Very little, or no opportunity for you in China, or anywhere else in eastern Asia.

If I were in your shoes I would try the sandbox.

Thanks for the info. I noticed that etihad had a non rated f/o position. I'm not sure if I should make a jump without having pic time to fall back on. Tempting but waiting another couple years for an upgrade is going to be mind numbing ...

How old are you?

Of course people care here. Not that we would find his birthday and wish him happy birthday, but to compare and align our career with our expectations and age!
