As someone who came up through the ranks paying my dues as it's said, as a CFI for a couple years then a Beech 18 freight dog and finally a regional I felt I was prepared at that point for any thing the training department wanted to throw at me. There was a lot of on the job training so to...
As someone working overseas I would like to know how as a U.S. citizen you can earn all this money virtually tax free as you say. If you have a United States passport, you owe Uncle Sam at the very least 15% for the privilege of having that document.
It's done all the time. Guys get Chinese 787, 330 etc. they then come back here or Canada and pay for it out of pocket to have one of the training centers run you through a short course.
Seriously, and your not happy with that setup? Unless your flight department is in peril of imminent closure, I would say on the surface you got a sweet deal. The grass isn't always greener.

Well it's really just cultural. The Chinese teach that learning comes from punishment. You break one of their rules regardless of the reason...Bam! We on the other hand ask why, what was the reason. Was there a purpose to your action? Ok, don't do it again.
Asiana. Again a big operating...
I can't disagree with WYOMINGPILOT one iota. Things have changed since I first came in 2009 and not for the better. So far my personal situation here remains stable but that can change every six months as stated. But let's be honest. Even back in the U.S. we have a jeopardy event every six...
I am net taxes here in China. The company does give us the tax receipts that they pay on our behalf so you can file either way with the foreign income exclusion or or your taxes paid method.
I zeroed out my fed taxes this year with the exclusion on earnings of 180k.
Everything I have been promised has been delivered. But they don't make a lot of promises either. I have been "fairly" treated here in almost four years now. I will say I don't feel as special as I did early in the job though. More overnights and more routes are open to foreigner captains so...

I don't know of any Chinese carriers that are pay to play....some will take you without the type rating and cover all costs. But you better pass. But I think that is a fair gamble.
