I am new to this forum and I am interested in finding any info on Shenzhen Airlines. They are recruiting for B-737-800 Captains and I am one. Understand that there are a small number of expats there now but they are recruiting for growth. Any info on the job itself and/or living in the Shenzen area would be appreciated.

Thanks
Jim

BLing,

What airline do you work for if you don't mind me asking?
 
Do a search for them on here on Flightinfo. I was looking into them about 4 years ago after a guy posted some info on the "majors" forum. He explained alot about them.
 
Firstmate & CitationUltra, Im not sure why you appear to have such a bad taste in your mouth towards Avionco. The only real problem I know of there has has been time frame issues. Sometimes the pay is a week or two late and going to the assigment may get delayed some as well. These issues are alomst always the fault of the airline we are working for. I have never been screwed out of money and plan on working there for many years. Once I was sent to an assignment where my license did not get validated. I was out of the country for a week and was paid my full months salary. I dont consider that having payment issues or being jerked around. Sure, I would like to see some improvements, but what place doesnt need to improve? I know if I do my job and work with them, they will take care of me.
 
Talked to them on the phone nearly a year ago. I got a bad taste from the get go, maybe thats just me. Heard a few negative and positive things from people and research - end of story. Got a 'neutral' at best vibe from the place. I was simply curious as to what the pay situation is there. The negatives I heard were concerned with getting paid.

The negative aspects probably came from people who were flying for Arik Air in Legos Nigeria. There were a few other CRJ contract companies involved there and Arik was not paying the bill. Yes there were issues with getting paid. But after talking to guys that worked there, Avionco squared up with everybody once Arik paid up. Avionco has dropped Arik Air as a result. From what I understand Bombardier recently wanted to have us take over that flying again. Bombardier was going to basically run the show this time. But Bombardier has decided to stay far away from them and not make us go back. The contract world is not for everybody... But after meeting guys from other companies, it sounds like Avionco is the best one for the CRJ. There are a lot of guys who have not, and will not get paid from other places. I have yet to meet anybody at Avionco who has never been paid.

I take it you haven't been doing this very long, or don't meet many people who have.

The problem bling is that for every one guy AVIOnCO is paying, there are another TWENTY guys they burned for money. The Dodd's are criminals.
 
Hi!

I heard CRJ pay is now $110K USD for captains. Buying ERJ-190s.

YIP
 
That would be nice! Are they actually upgrading the "senior" fos to captain or just making them fly the right seat the whole time?
 
YEAH BOY!!!!!!.....................Now we're getting somewhere...................and the truth is coming out!
