Foreign Pilots in China being sent home?
I'm being told at least 5 Chinese airlines on the mainland have either released their pilots or have sent them on leave indefinitely without pay as a result of the economic effects of the coronavirus. Can anyone corroborate this and/or add any details? I haven't seen anything in the news aside from now today Cathay asking their workers to take 3 weeks unpaid leave

These kinds of comments are why pilots suck.

Gotta pay the bills no matter where you work. As a former expat pilot I can tell you that as a "guest worker" we were fully aware that we would always be the first to go when sh*t started.
That was the trade off for a decent wage.

Sad thing is in Canada the Expats will be the last to go as it would offend the liberal left.
Re: Foreign Pilots in China being sent home?
To which Expats are you referring?

Sent home from China with a PowerPoint showcasing their FDM "violations" and "public punishment".
