The following is some additional information for your consideration. This was sent to pilots whose resume already existed in our data base.

We are pleased to announce immediate openings for CRJ Captains for ex-pat assignments in Beijing, China. When comparing salary and benefits with other opportunities in the market place, please keep in mind the following points:

• The average gross salary before tax & housing costs for a top level professional living in Beijing is $2,230USD per month v.s. your net of $5,700USD per month.
• You can buy a Chinese meal for about $0.80 to $1.30USD.

• The approximate equivalent salary in the U.S. taking into account tax free status, housing, and cash benefits would be around $130,000USD/year.

Your out of pocket living expenses will be only for food and entertainment. In short, you can experience an adventure in China, enjoy living at the top of the economy, and put a substantial amount in savings each month.
In the interest of full disclosure, please keep fully in mind that this adventure is not for everyone. While Beijing is one of the great and historic cities of the world, it is located in a foreign country with a different culture and language. The people are friendly and very kind to Westerners.


Contract flying is not for everyone but for the right person this is a good opportunity. The pilots that WASINC recruits for this contract in the following months will form the professional and cultural core for all the rest that follow. We are interested in only hiring the right people for the job. If you are interested go to www.wasinc.net or send me a private message and I can guide you from there.

A Joint Venture between Mesa huh ?????

This thing smells like a turd.

 

[ex j-41]

$5000/month is a realistic number for a home in China.
$1200 would put you in the trailer parks of Bejing. Just where J.O. wants you.

I love how they state "the average ........" - it's f!!!ing Beijing! There are how many people/apartments in Beijing? Of course many of those people are low paid and live in low rent apartments, hence the "average....." that JO is talking about. What a scumball - I'll bet the initial cadre are looked after, send good reports back home, then wham!! Next group end up living in the slum!

Good luck to all the morons that take him up on his offer!

If you really work for Southwest, why would you be trying to help recruit for a slimeball like J.O.????

Typical Mesa,

Buddy of mine is going on this third CRJ contract. He had a choice of 3 or 4 different cities this time around. Company pays for you hotel etc...6 weeks on...4 off. or similar to that. Base pay is 10k + per diem......and JO want's to pay ya....5700???? I made more than that on a contract as a FE over 10 yrs ago...

Have you lived in Beijing? Click on the link and you can see what a $1200/mo apartment looks like. I guess if you want the Taj Mahal, it would go for $5000.

I guess the "right person" would be anyone dumb enough or desperate enough to fly for Mesa in China.

(That would be Mesa without FAA oversight)

I wonder how many FAA violations on a pilot certificate they'd be willing to overlook for this gig?
