- Airlines will have to hire nearly 500,000 commercial pilots in the next 20 years, to keep up with aircraft orders and the biggest need is in the Asia-Pacific region. Seth Doane reports on one pilot who has relocated to China already.
There you go China treats thier pilots right. The Flying Tigers made a lasting impression , wonderful to know American Pilots are greatly appreciated.
Al Person absolutely, China may be the most racist developed nation on earth.
There is a saying among Western businessmen in China 'If you are planning on starting a business in China in a city that you've previously heard of - you are ALREADY too late'.
If you're an entry level American pilot, it's incredibly difficult to get a job starting out in China. Most airlines in China require well over 3000+ hours, and a type rating in your current aircraft. They don't train you for your type aircraft like US airlines do. Most pilots that go over there for the money, have had previous experience in the airlines. (Like the guy here)
The FAA's 1500 flight rule is what discourage me the most.
The best way is to become an officer in a service branch and fly with that branch (usaf, navy, or marines for ex)
@@williamdillery2740 Not everybody wants to be in the military
I only had to flight instruct for about 13 months to get my hours (250 hours to 1500). I really honed my skills as a pilot and felt more prepared to fly jets then I would have otherwise.
ASPIRING PILOTS WHERE YOU AT?
here :)
Right here
Here!
Right here. But I'm to young atm.
Here I am already a pilot just not a professional on yet another year or so and I will be :)
20.000$/year?????? Poor people.. America the land of opportunity..
The regionals do take advantage of low air time pilots who want to build up their hours. Remember the Colgan Air Flight 3407 where the cause of the crash besides icing on the wings was also pilot fatigue.
I respect this man who take this great opportunity,hey if you're not being treated right go elsewhere and further yourself China is on the rise and people could keep sleeping and wants to be ignorant be my guess
@Hello Marx Mann, How are you doing?
China has an enormous amount of opportunities. I live and work in China as an expat and I have say the emerging middle class is staggering. Pollution is a problem but honestly pollution was also a problem in the states but it will get better overtime.
Just visit China and experience first hand is all I'm saying.
Lol, we could ban barbeque stalls outside on the streets!
This comment didn't age well
Maybe they should have made the focus of the story first year regional first officer pay. It's easy to see why no one wants to spend four days away from your family every week, every month, every year for 20k a year.
They do it for the job.
The trick is how you play the system, I live in Pittsburgh, and work for Republic who has a base here... I drive to work, don't commute, and that saves food and hotel costs. Plus, being only 23, I still live with the folks and they don't care since I'm gone so often... You can bid to have one day pairings, and as your seniority grows your chances of making your whole year just one day's grows as well... Not having to pay rent and getting away from the hum drum of suburban life is nice, so I bid four days and with the extra per diem I save an average of half my paycheck ($2000 first year)...
Some people choose to get married, move, and start a family and THEN join the regionals, which is so unwise and hard on the married life having to commute now that you are stuck in one place even if a local base closes...
TL;DR: you make it work, and yes I think we all get paid poorly but it's how you play the game that makes the job more enjoyable...
After I get my degree In electrical engineering I'm going to pay for pilot training and become a pilot. It has always been my dream to fly airplanes!
GL with food stamps! Why ruin your life. I dont get it
Lots of pilots are engineers in the USAF.
@@RonnieBoel you know there’s regional airlines that pay 40k starting salary right? Not everyone is living on food stamps the way you claim.
@@videogameplayer0552 they're paying way more than 40k starting now
@@vizio2003 true
How to become a pilot or mechanic in Asia? Are there aviation schools? And what will the training program report on the rest of the license?
I am at my CFI, the first call to china, i will goo
othmane ouardani how did things turn out?
So uh, did you turn into goo?
Please Don't Go. My Son Jason Reid went there to work not an airline pilot but as a Pilot for George Heintz Manufacturer 'George Wei Chen' Building and selling Zenith 750 STOLs. They Lied about everything. Even though He Had a Valid US Commercial License and Felt Privileged to help bring this emerging private flight to China, Now after he Died Tragically May 3, 2015 in China. The Bastards Now call Him an unlicensed Criminal. Jason was a very competent Pilot and flew with Chief Instructor in Corvallis Oregon Dec. 2014, who found Jason Fully Competent with No Fault! They barely made it air born and crashed in 1/2 mile due to mechanical failure. WHERE THE HELL WAS THEIR MECHANIC!!!???
I would do anything to be a pilot. It has been my dream since I can remember. However I would never move to china for it. That is pushing it just a tad.
People Evil to qualify is another story!
There's a us pilot shortage because no one wants to live or much less fly here anymore!
It's the pay.
Do foreign pilot in Chinese Airlines have to speak Chinese? Do they have to learn it?
Hmmm wonder how is it now
Incredible story 😮😮
Can a pilot from the U.S go to work for british airways
If your willing to move, yes, but make sure you get the job before moving.
+Mario Sanchez Of course!
you will need an easa licence ( a special european pilot license) to work as a pilot there, and that one is very expensive.. but if you have one of those and they want to hire you then yes, you can work for them, theres a huge pilot shortage in the uk too
@@emilianoramirez5398 thats right. The us airline have higher revenues too. Even compared to lufthansa
As an American student pilot after i make enough hours noone can hold me in USA. Its just meaningless
A quick glance at Linkedin shows him back in the states, flying as an FO. Which should tell you everything you need to know about flying in China.
China is a wonderful country.
i agree with you !
I AM PLANING 2 MOVE THERE !
Enjoy eating bullet in the US
not really good
One thing about the chinese is they love american products. They have great respect for us
The cost of living in China through the roof as well.
Bet they get paid better then regional pilots!
+J Sherman They do.
The thing is that in china it take shorter time for a pilot to become a captain and they get paid more
"The numbers in China are staggering.. really"
No. What's staggering is that, after a deserved wholesale excoriation of the US airline industry, you just amble on as if all is well in 'Murca.
They are. I saw an offer for 21,000 USD per month, plus another 28,000 USD on bonuses.
regionals still paying foodstamp money for FO,
I made 9,800 first year 1987. With 4,200 hrs in log
China saw this coming 5 years ago !!! Now look!
Poor guy! Must lived under bridge in the US.
I can't wait to fly! :D
What pilots train for 10 years?
Init, that is exactly what i thought...
Wuhan
To solve this problem one big thing that can be done is get rid of the color deficiency requirement. Today's technology overcomes it
Will always be a requirement. The modern flight deck is a plethora of colours that have significance. Flying a PAPI or VASI requires a definitive red and white differential understanding or the outcome could be disasterous.
I thought I saw a youtube video where there is a First office with an Australian major airline who has a color deficiency. i think he even sued to be capt and won.
Me After 4 more urs of high school and 7 yrs in univ of embry riddle
Hi from 2020
How is China's interest in pilots looking in 2022...?
They'll be paying Americans even more to fly their planes. The shortages will only get worse.
right , we looking for airline pilots who can work in china , if you are interested , please contact me ..
Recruiter in China are u guys paying for training ?I work for you by paying it back on contract
Being a pilot has become such a miserable profession, there's no reason for top quality people to pursue it.
Are you referring to Pilots as "low quality people?" Please tell me that I am understanding you wrong...
There’s a shortage now it’s a good profession to go into don’t let anyone tell you different
?
