, LOL! So we better not discuss the Chinese corporate pilots salaries then..!I know, I know...! It just amazes me that in an era where more information is readily available to anyone, an individual living in one of the most educated countries in the world, actually believes such nonsense.

That was my job that was eliminated. My company that was eliminated. I'm glad that makes you happy.
Also, I noticed no mainline guys responded to this.
I understand the need to get airline pilots in America back to the standards they ought to be living at. However, there are people's lives at stake in the conversion process. There's pain to be experienced. Less RJ's means less jobs, unfortunately. Bad? For the industry, no it's not bad. For the pilots that no longer have a job and don't get picked up by mainline, yes it's bad. Not everyone can be the best of the best and get the mainline job. Some people WON'T make it there. That is a tough thing and acting like it doesn't exist shows a little too much pride and arrogance.
But what do I know, I just fly Bonanza's for fun

So, in the effort of educating myself, where can I find information about what locals make flying for asian airlines? (Not expat contracts, mind you)
Google turns up nothing but expat contracts and an article about a guy that had to sue air china to be allowed to resign.

BTW, over 300 CRJ 100/200s are being replaced by 70 76 seat planes and 88 B717s.

This is purely curiosity and I'm sure I could look it up, but how many pax fit on a 717 for Delta, and is that the same amount of seats Air Tran has/had on them now or is Big D reconfiguring the interiors?

IIRC, they seat 110 or 115.
