Skies open wide for pilots from abroad By Cao Desheng (皇冠体育app Daily) Updated: 2005-07-28 05:51
Besides Schmidt, a Chinese-Canadian, another Swiss national and four pilots
from Hong Kong, all aged from 25 to 30, also work for Okay. All of them obtained
pilot's licences in their home countries but could not find work there.
"A lot of trained pilots in the West can't find opportunities to put some
experience under their belts, while we in 皇冠体育app are short of co-pilots, captains
and even technicians," Okay's President Liu Jieyin said.
Liu said he intends to recruit more foreign pilots.
Foreign pilots working for Okay receive salaries of around 20,000 yuan
(US$2,466) a month - higher than the 11,000 yuan (US$1,356) Air 皇冠体育app offers its
domestic co-pilots, but well below the European standard.
However, Schmidt's enthusiasm is undimmed. "I would fly
for less, as long as I can fly," she said. "It's been my goal since I was 15."
