Hi y’all!!
I am a European based captain with an (English) low cost airline and had enough of them and the Northern European weather ;-)!!
Just being back from a nice holiday in Thailand, and having spend a month in Vietnam some years ago as well I am very interested to turn my life around and move to Asia.
This would be emigrating WITH the family and therefor not looking for some kind of commuting contract.
Some info about myself, 35 yrs old, married, 1 kid together aged 3, 1 kid from my wifes previous relationship aged 13.
Either the move is with all 4 or otherwise without the oldest may he decide he doesn’t want to.
Currently Captain on A320 series, about 8000TT, 2500PIC.
I hope to hear from you guys out there what to expect, what to think of before making the ‘plunge’.
How is expat life out there where ever you are? How is it for the wifes and kids? How about school (quality)?
And ofcourse, how are the contracts? You got direct contracts, agency? How are the salaries? How is stafftravel?
I might be interested into trying long haul. Anyone who works for company that flies longhaul or perhaps short and longhaul. Possibilites to upgrade to the longhaul fleet after some time.
How is the selection process? And how ‘heavy’ is the medical? Heared about that they even note if tattoos are there? Are they a problem?
Hope to hear from you guys out there!
Either public or private msg, all extremely welcome!!
