WHY MOVE TO:
Spectators Balcony (Spotters Corner) If you're not a professional pilot but want to discuss issues about the job......

THIS THREAD REALLY DOES BELONG IN:
Airlines, Airports & Routes Topics about airports, routes and airline business.

United Airways will be operating from Dhaka to the UK (Widely rumoured to be Gatwick, Birmingham and Manchester) and they are currently in the process of employing European pilots (longhaul and regional) to get the new aircraft in their fleet operational. Various editorial and advertisements in Flight and generally on the internet demonstrate this to be the case.
Just as an example:
United Airways leases A310 (http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2010/09/23/347708/united-airways-leases-a310.html)

Or if the SPOTTERS insist on putting it in their CORNER then perhaps they will prefer to see more links like this:
