Former aircraft commander, flight safety specialist Alexander Romanov explained why Russian pilots are being dismissed in China.
According to him, due to the outbreak of coronavirus, the number of passengers has now sharply decreased in China. Sometimes on large planes carry 5-10 people. In addition, as transmits Ura.RURomanov noted that for three years, Chinese airlines hired highly professional Russian pilots with good knowledge of English to train Chinese pilots. “The Russians have already trained enough personnel,” said the pilot.
At the same time, Romanov noted that most of the dismissed Russians are unlikely to return to their homeland, as they received European and American certificates and will look for other airlines to continue working.
Earlier it was reported that Chinese airlines Hainan Airlines and China Southern Airlines plan to lay off more than 100 Russian pilots.
