That email tho.....

 

It's a secondary one, didn't want to disclose my primary address on a public forum!

 

To be fair, Xiamen was very clear the few times I did fly there.

I was in Chengdu and thought much I what I read regarding the author's experience with Tianjin was similar to my experience with Chengdu/Sichuan Airlines.

Regarding the translation of manuals, we had a guy get nailed with a large fine due to a poor translation of manuals. He followed the Airbus FCOM, but the translation into Chinese was bad, so the company argued that he violated a limitation and suspended him and fined him (along with the public shaming). The proper, original, Airbus FCOM wording was not enough to protect him.

Anyway, glad you had a great experience with China. It can be financially very rewarding if you are in a good position to handle the fun of China. I could be persuaded to go back for a short time after my kids are grown, if the options are still good. But I am in no hurry to go back.

 

I understand that China does come with it's share of ups and downs. Obviously, one cant expect free lunches.

However, given the 4-year contract, does one have an option of leaving early in case one is not able to cope up? How are resignations treated? And is there a contract amount to be paid to be relieved?

Any idea about Hainan airlines?

All of the contracts I saw had an exit option with 90 days notice.
