Looking for well paid jobs? Look to China - Curt Lewis

China-based airlines are putting up lots of cash to recruit foreign pilots China Southern Airlines  China is promising big paychecks in an effort to lure experienced foreign pilots to the country to meet skyrocketing air-travel demand. As the world's fastest-growing aviation market, the number of commercial planes in China will triple to 7,210 - up from 2,570 last year - by the year 2034, according to a press release issued by Boeing last August. The country will need to hire 100 pilots per week over that period, according to a Bloomberg report published on Wednesday. "When we ask an airline, 'How many pilots do you need?,' they say, 'Oh, we can take as many as you bring.' It's almost unlimited," said David Ross, the president of Las Vegas-based recruiting company, Wasinc International. Ross's company serves more than a dozen of China's mainland carriers, including Chengdu Airlines and Qingdao Airlines. Those startup carriers are barely known outside of China, but they have emerged amid the nation's booming aviation market. Chinese airlines are paying as much as five times more than some Asia rivals for new hires, and startup airlines are paying about 50 percent more than what some senior captains earn at Delta Air Lines, Bloomberg noted.
