Would be a fun adventure....but I would rather live in poverty in the US, rather than live in poverty in China.

Your wife could teach Engrish, the chinese version of English.

You'll need that health insurance for the Lung cancer you'll get breathing Bejing air. You can't even see the ground on a sunny day at 5000 feet. They all wear those hospital masks for a reason.

Let us not forget who is behind this operation. Been there done that wouldn't touch with a 30 foot pole. You can expect to be beaten until you void your contract that way he will not have to pay the completion bonus.

This J.O. probrably won't even hire current Mesa employees, he can't spare them!

So if captain pay is at the poverty line...I'm sure FO pay is going to be fantastic. How do they plan on filling the right seat? Chinese FO's with English Captains? That sounds like a cockpit communication dream...

TURN THE F*$&ING HEAT OFF! I SAID OFF! O-F-F!!!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the FO's will be chinese...also the observer. You will have a "Political Officer/Observer" in the JS for every flight. He will shoot you in the back of the head in case you attempt to defect to the west

That's not enough money to fly an airliner AND play CFI for for an FO who's english is probably horrible at best.

Do you realize what you've said. You do know that Mesa is involved with this deal? None of the poor Mesa pilots live at a reasonable standard.

well if its a raw deal then dont do it. its as simple as that. the people who decide to go will have to deal with the consequences. and some people will end up liking it for some strange reason. its like anything else thats going on in the industry. someone is gonna stand up and do it.

btw chinese food in china is not the same as chinese food here in the states. i threw up a little in my mouth the first time i saw that disguisting crap. have fun out there whoever decides to go
