As I mentioned in my introduction yesterday, I volunteer with the China Pilots Association and we cooperate with 27 major/regional airlines in Asia/China with recruitment, housing, medical, visa assistance, cross-cultural training, etc. Anyone interested in exploring the China option, we can help you avoid the dogs. We are mostly expats living and flying here since 2005 and know the good, the bad, and the fugly. At present we are can place the following:

9 B737-800 Captains and 11 First Officers (FT)

2 MD80 Pilots
B747 Captain and 2 First Officers
C130 Pilot (air freight)
B757 Captain & First Officer
B767 Captain & First Officer

The positions are China and/or Taiwan-based for scheduled passenger service, air freight, or charter. Some are five on and five off. All details provided upon receipt of a current CV. The basic requirements are as follows:

* Current medical

Dealing with the Chinese medical is too much of a hassle. They look for a 18 year old body on a 40 yr old guy.

If the pay is right, finding pilots might not be a problem.

Thanks for the post....I have also heard if you are over 50 the medical is a crap shoot.

I think if China gets desperate enough, they will lower their medical standards...

I spoke with a recruiter about lowering the medical standards and they said they have enough applicants that there is no need and they do not foresee the CAAC do that. Even with the horrible pass rate on the medical there is enough applicants to keep them happy. I agree if they made the medical more realistic then more might consider it.

So what would really be accent free? Even British and Americans have their regional accents, let alone other international English accent.:cool:

So what English accent are you referring to?:confused: Looks like the pilots will be giving speech over the radio than communicating with ATC!:mad:

uh, pilot shortage ?

If their shortage gets bad enough, just open bases here in the US, and voila, problem solved! Plenty of pilots here that don't want to commute or move overseas. Of course, it's easier said than done.

They have been opening us pilot bases...

Also if their supposed shortage gets bad enough they can be more realistic on the time in type requirements. I don't understand why Asia is so set on thousands of hours in type. I think a guy with 5,000 hrs in a 737 is qualified for an A320 or 757 gig.
