With the number of company-trained pilots having gradually increased in China Airlines, along with stricter safety procedures, all pilots, regardless of whether they are from the air force, a CAL training program or a foreign one, are flying by SOP, Chang said.

The old authority of "the captain" no longer exists, as captains are co-pilots and sort out disputes using SOP, which is a big change in the company's culture, he added.
After getting through the training course in Adelaide, cadets still have a long journey before embarking on the career of a pilot. They need to go through two years of training on large commercial jets to become co-pilots, or a first officer, to carry out their flying duties. And it takes another eight years for first officers to become captains.
"I think I can do it if I work hard," Yang said, "I don't worry about China Airlines' past flight record because I have seen the resources and effort they put in to regain their reputation."
"As cadets of China Airlines, I think we should not stumble from the burden of responsibility? instead, it is now our job to carry it," Yang said.
