Getting started in Asia, Clues and tips please!
Dear fellow PPRUNErs,
I hold my CPL/IR and for some reasons haven't started working yet.
Lately I have started looking at my options away from my country and South Asia and Far East really excites me, those are the places I have always wanted to live and fly in them.
Does anyone have any tips or leads on how to get started in Philippines or Indonesia or any other country around there?
I'm sure there are a lot of people here who would really appreciate some useful information from you lovely people.
P.S. Please don't say susi air, cause they changed requirements to 750 hours TT.

Same boat my friend. Fresh out of flight school with a CPL, Multi IFR and 220+ hours.
Looking to get out of Canada ideally to skip the "ramp wait" and go for a more adventurous lifestyle.
Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated!
I'm willing to travel wherever if that's what it takes.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your answer Black Crow, but I'm not talking about FO, it's far away from my mind at this stage. What I am asking is better to be said this way,
"Does anyone has any leads on how can someone not from That side of Asia, get any position as a Flight Instructor, small charter pilot, Air Taxi pilot, etc." I'm looking at my options in a "more hands-on flying" environment.

One thing to remember about expat flying in Asia, "you're relevant until you are not".

Thanks everyone.
To those who said get some experience in my home country, I must say, unfortunately General Aviation is quiet dead in here and there are only couple of airlines operating here, and the only way to get in is if you have some really strong connections, so yeah, ain't possible at all.
By the way thanks everyone, and this does not mean I'd stop looking at fulfilling my dream, even if it takes couple of more years.
Cheers
