Work and life in Asia/Middle East

Hi all,

I'm looking at taking a redundancy from Qantas and I am thinking of looking for work in Singapore, Malaysia or the Middle East.

I have 747 series and 767 Eng and A/F licences and was wondering if any could give me any feedback about working in these places? what's it like for a young family?

Thanks in advance.

HAECO would probably love to snap you up and chuck a few endorsments in as well (777/320/330/340) but I'm not sure what the conditions are like.

Good luck with whatever you choose

Plenty of Aussies in Hong Kong,http://www.aviationjobsearch.com/ have jobs, I believe there are contracts at SQ and possibly MAS see www.airmech.co.uk. Good luck.

Thanks guys,

I've been to these sites and I know there are lots of jobs there but I wonder what life would be like there with a young family.

I was hoping there was someone out there who has done it recently/is doing it and can give me some feedback about conditions on the job and family life on days off in any of these places.

Thanks again
