Well, some chinese airlines run currently hiring programs with european carriers in which experienced FOs run through their captain recruitment program (simulator, medical, ATPL), get an upgrade training back home plus 100 hours of line training and then join the chinese carrier as expat captains on their normal pay scheme.

I lived in China about 10 years ago. Loved it. I don't know why I left really.
There were a lot of guys that came from Europe, N. America, etc. that came in thinking they were going to be living and working in an environment like they had come from. Well, it's not. Once you let go and accept it, it's a blast. Once you stop trying to go direct everywhere or trying to fix everything they do differently (well thats not how we did it in the US...)Communism has totally ruined the people. Its like they're collectively waking up from a deep sleep. Not all, just most. The new middle class. The educated, upper middle class are just like any westerner.
But as I skimmed though this book I could see people I remembered, the types that just had to go to McD's or KFC every time they saw one (bucket of chicken claws anyone?) or couldn't get over the spitting in public or smoking or bathhouses (yes, please) or traffic...It's the Orient. You are a stranger in a strange land.
This book just reinforces the stereotypes that tourists from the US are a bunch of DB nozzles.

So get over yourself already, the issues in China are not just limited to American pilots having a hard time with other cultures.

I think that is a scam deal that asks you to pay to go to the interview.
Steer clear if it is pilotcareers.aero

Here is another heads-up both myself and a friend got in our inbox today:
The U.S. Embassy has received information of possible threats against Westerners in the Sanlitun area of Beijing, on or around Christmas Day. U.S. citizens are urged to exercise heightened vigilance. The U.S. Embassy has issued the same guidance to U.S. government personnel.
Be safe over there you crazy ex-pats! Don't get stabbed by some anti-government sword wielding maniac!

These days it seems you need to be mindful of your surroundings even while enjoying a cup of coffee at a café in Paris.

I am contracted through VOR with a different airline and have never had any issues with my pay. It has always been as advertised and on time.
