"IF you can't fly a raw data, single engine NDB approach with multiple other failures, you won't pass your sim."

Local pilots can crash the sim and still get through. There are certain elements within the chinese system that do not want foreign pilots and they will use their power as doctor or sim checker to get rid of you.

The local standards are REALLY bad. I had one check captain during a sim session explain to me that "sea level in hong Kong is different to China"!!!!!!

LOL. I never said anything about it being fair. It is what it is.

"If it pays a lot, it is because nobody wants to work there. If it is a commuting contract, it is because nobody wants to live there."

Confucious
Famous ancient Chinese airline pilot.

All great points for most I guess.
As long as I get paid as advertised and don't have to be responsible, ie Captain pay for sitting in either seat with no real responsibilities, omg what a deal!!!

Heading to CAN shortly for screening. Still a high failure rate in the simulator. No feedback either. They are desperate for B777 Cpts. If that's the case they need to offer reverse scheduling even if that requires commuting or duty travel to begin duty in CAN. To do this outside of company provided travel is unrealistic. I can't imagine too many guys taking a CAN base unless you're unemployed. If you are unemployed, it's unlikely you will get thru the sim not current.

Good luck man! let us know how it goes and any updates plz!!

So far so good. The sim this screening resulted in a 70% pass and only a small number were dropped during the medicals. It's a long week but hopefully the end result is positive.

I have an interview with CSA next month for B777/787 Command. Do you have any gouge or information that can help me pass the assessment? I appreciate anything you can tell me.

555! (5 is "Ha" in Thai).

Does anyone have any more up to date information on CS?
