Preface:
"We resolutely serve China's aviation industry and ensure the flight safety of Chinese citizens."
The above paragraph is a paragraph said by foreign pilots when participating in the selection of the captain of the mainland civil aviation aircraft, more than 400 foreign pilots some time ago, collectively jumped to the mainland civil aviation, must join the mainland civil aviation, and promised not to return to China.
Even in the face of their own country's stern warnings, they do not pay attention to it, and what they hope most is to get a green card from China, otherwise they will not return to China.
So why should the mainland absorb a large number of foreign pilots? Can't domestic pilots? How the mainland treats foreign pilots.
The development of civil aviation on the mainland is too late
In fact, the reason why the mainland vigorously absorbs foreign pilots is not because "foreign monks are good at chanting", but because there are relatively few pilots on active duty on the mainland, which is related to the relatively late development of civil aviation on the mainland.
Mainland Civil Aviation was officially established in 1949,
In 1980, the mainland purchased Boeing's 747SP civil aviation wide-body passenger aircraft from the United States for the first time, which was the first major measure to expand the civil route, and then the mainland began to expand and explore civil aviation.
Until 1988, China's civil aviation began a major reform, to compete with the civil aviation of other countries in the world, for a time, China's civil aviation was divided into 6 major airlines, of which the three strongest companies are Air China, China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines.
Air China is responsible for the future of China's civil aviation, the only civil airline flying under the national flag, and in 2007, joined the world's largest airline alliance - Star Alliance.
But even in 1988, the mainland has vigorously begun to develop civil aviation aircraft, but still lagged behind the rest of the world, the United States introduced the Civil Aviation Law in 1938 to avoid bad competition in the civil aviation industry.
And the United Kingdom also established British European Airways as early as 1924,
Therefore, the mainland is still a little late in the initial stage of civil aviation compared to these European countries, so it is understandable that it does not have as many technology and aircraft as they are.
At the same time, in addition to the indirect reason that civil aviation started a little late, which leads to a large number of foreign pilots, it is more important to train a qualified captain of a civil aviation passenger aircraft, which requires a lot of time and experience.
First of all, just in terms of learning and training, for ordinary students is the first big difficulty, and then after many tests to become a qualified captain, if you want to become a captain, look at the following conditions,
If you want to become a pilot, you must first apply for aviation colleges, and you must pass the basic health requirements of the body before applying.
Among them, the height must be between 1 meter 65 and 1 meter 85, the vision of both eyes must be tested according to the "C" shape of the Air Force eye chart, the visual acuity of both eyes must be above 1.0, no color blindness and color weakness, no tattoos and tattoos.
The limbs must be healthy, there must be no genetic and chronic diseases and gastroenteritis, no tumors and mental diseases, and people who have had surgery and surgery cannot pass.
As for motion sickness, seasickness, infectious diseases, wearing glasses, squinting, heart disease, they will be brushed off on the spot, and they will not be able to drive a plane for the rest of their lives.
If the body meets the standard,
If you successfully pass the test physically and psychologically, the college entrance examination results have reached the admission score line, and a background check will be carried out, and if there is no problem, you can successfully enroll.
However, after these initial tests, only 45 out of 100 people were able to qualify.
If you successfully pass the test and enter the school, of course, learning to fly an airplane cannot be the same as learning a car, and you will be allowed to try it out, which will first let you learn 1-2 years of theoretical knowledge courses and basic physical fitness exercise.
For example, 5,000 meters of long-distance running every day, doing morning exercises,
At the same time, when training the body, the basic theory courses can not be left behind, such as learning, flight principles, aircraft systems, flight performance and planning and other areas of professional knowledge, and physics, English, mathematics, the three major subjects, can not be left unlearned.
After the academic performance is met, the formal aircraft stage will begin.
And you can go to the training schools of major airlines for training and learning.
It is difficult for ordinary families to pay such a huge expense, but fortunately, this cost is the responsibility of the airline where you are conducting practical training, so even the theory course plus practical training course, it takes at least 4 years to graduate.
And when you think that after finally graduating, you can drive the plane you want? Wrong! The airline will take you to the training ground for a driver's license, just like a car driver's license, and if you fail any of them, you will be immediately told to be grounded.
First of all, you need to take the private photo test of the aircraft,
When it comes to the exam, the flight instructor will not sit on the same plane as you, at this time, if you fail the exam, you will be directly eliminated, grounded, and can only go home, in fact, this stage is the same as subject 2 of the car driver's license.
If you succeed in the private photo test, the next step is to upgrade to the second stage of the exam to issue a business license, which is the same as the car license subject 3, which requires you to fly the plane, conduct transfer training, air pre-hazard training, fly from airport A to airport B, increase flight time, and have a few more flying skills.
If you also pass this stage successfully, the next step is to issue a business license, and the model of the aircraft has also changed from a single small aircraft to a large aircraft with two engines, in which the various instrument displays, flight systems, and flying skills in the aircraft are more complex and difficult to understand.
At the same time, you have to deal with the appearance of flying sky, haze, whirlwind, low clouds, heavy rain, lightning and other bad weather response ability, if this stage can not pass, still can only be sentenced to grounding, because multiple commercial license training, is to simulate the situation of real aircraft flight.
If you also successfully pass this stage of the exam,
If you pass all the exams,
But at this time, you still can't fly the plane, because the planes you fly during training are all small planes, and the real civil aviation planes are passenger planes with hundreds of people.
The operating system on large aircraft is more complex, more intelligent, more professional, and most importantly, to ensure the safety of each passenger's life.
So you will learn again, the process of transitioning from a small plane to a large plane, at which point you will conduct simulation training, and the aircraft of this simulation training will be exactly the same as the large civil aviation aircraft you drove later.
You have to keep in mind the role and name of each instrument, will give you systematic training on how to operate, and be very proficient in air defense knowledge and emergency survival training.
You are going to be in this airplane simulator,
From simple to complex, such as from dropping a screw in an airplane to an airplane engine failure, you have to handle these situations skillfully, eliminate the danger, and then land the aircraft safely to the plane.
If you pass these smoothly, then congratulations,
If you don't make mistakes or are very talented during this period, then you will be promoted to veteran co-pilot, and at this stage you can cooperate with the captain to do the action, without the captain reminding you, you can also predict in advance what steps to do next, tacit understanding and proficiency will become higher and higher.
In this way, after about 2 years of training and assessment, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to captain, and if you successfully pass the assessment, then you can shoulder 4 bars and officially become a captain, that is,
This is the entire experience and assessment from an ordinary flight cadet to an aircraft captain, the shortest time is 7 years, but most of the time to become a captain will be 10 years, to effectively fly 2700 hours, a pilot at least more than 5 million to become a captain.
It can be seen how difficult and difficult it is to train a qualified aircraft captain,
How good are the benefits of foreign pilots
It was said earlier that the mainland introduced a large number of foreign pilots because of the late development of civil aviation and the high cost of training time, but there is a third reason, and the most important reason, is that the mainland's civil aviation industry is now developing too fast and is in a blowout development.
Among them, the three major airlines of civil aviation have begun to eliminate a large number of old aircraft such as Boeing 737 in recent years, and began to buy a large number of Airbus aircraft, and now the number of mainland civil aviation aircraft has reached 4165, including 3942 passenger aircraft and 223 cargo aircraft.
And in 2022,
At the same time, the civil aviation aircraft C919 independently developed by the mainland, the first batch of 150 aircraft, will soon be delivered, it can be said that the mainland civil aviation aircraft has reached the international leading ranks.
Therefore, the demand for pilots has also become very huge, and due to various time costs, it cannot be equipped in time, so the mainland has locked its target on foreign pilots.
Of course, let foreign pilots give up their own country's career, run to China to work, and be blamed by their own country, and it will definitely not work without rich conditions.
So the mainland decided to give foreign pilots a generous salary, such as South Korean pilots, who earn about 800,000 yuan a year in their own country, while the annual salary on the mainland is said to reach 1.2 million yuan.
And in addition to that, there will be a lot of benefits.
With so many generous treatment and hundreds of thousands of salaries higher than their own country, anyone will not be able to resist the temptation, and for a while countless excellent foreign pilots came to China for interviews, hoping to stay here and work.
And Continental Airlines is also very welcoming to these foreign pilots.
These foreign pilots have relieved a lot of pressure on the mainland's civil aviation industry, and they will also train and train young pilots in the mainland, which belongs to the old and new model.
And the mainland is a very tolerant country, for foreign pilots with excellent strength, of course, they are welcome to jump jobs.
Epilogue:
At present, the mainland's civil aviation industry is in an explosive growth stage, and there is a lot of demand for pilots, so poaching foreign pilots is also a solution.
But this does not mean that the mainland does not train its own pilots,
Do you think the civil aviation exam is rigorous?
