BEIJING, Sept 21 — The Chinese navy wants to hire graduate students to fly shipborne aircraft, and is raising the age limit to expand its search as it seeks to improve the qualifications of its air personnel and build a “strong army”.
In an advertisement on social media platform WeChat, the People’s Liberation Army Navy said it was seeking graduate students with master’s degrees in science and engineering who are younger than 26 to pilot aircraft from ships. “The need for high-quality military talent becomes more imperative day by day,” the People’s Liberation Army Navy said in the advertisement, published yesterday. “The mission and tasks of the navy continue to expand. The speed of the strategic shift of the navy is being accelerated.”
Training will include three to four years of aviation theory and practical flight training. Those who become pilots will have free medical care for themselves and their immediate family, as well as government-provided housing.
